Boston Red Sox vs Miami Marlins Betting Picks

I had Boston on the moneyline three days ago against San Francisco, and it cashed, a 6-4 win that fits a stretch where the Red Sox have taken five of their last seven. The bats have carried that stretch, a .943 team OPS over the last week compared to a .731 mark for the season, and Boston rides a three-game win streak into Miami. Ranger Suarez starts for the Red Sox off a win over Arizona in which he lasted five and a third innings and allowed four runs, a short outing the offense covered for. Miami counters with Sandy Alcantara, who has actually pitched well and lost twice in a row, including seven innings of one-run ball at Cincinnati that still ended in a loss. The Marlins have been worse at home than on the road this season on the mound, a meaningful gap for a team hosting a lineup that is red hot right now. Boston is the shorter price here, and the recent form backs it up. Take the Red Sox on the moneyline tonight.

Boston goes for the series sweep after it jumped out to a 6-0 lead and held on to win 7-5 on Saturday. Trevor Story doubled and hit a three-run homer as the Red Sox improved to 41-22 at home. Boston has won Garrett Crochet's past five starts in the third game of a series and it has won his past five home starts overall. Miami is 0-4 after allowing at least five runs its previous game and the Marlins have lost seven of eight. Janson Junk has allowed 19 runs on 31 hits his past five outings in 25 innings pitched for the Marlins, who have lost the past five meetings dating to last season. The Red Sox have won nine of 10 home games and 11 of 16 overall. Miami is 3-12 at Femway Park. The Marlins have lost four straight against teams that allowed five or more runs their previous game. Take the Red Sox.

Miami only allowed three hits last night, but lost 2-1 to the Red Sox. The Marlins' offense expects to do better today against Brayan Bello, who gave up five runs on six hits in 5 2/3 innings in his last outing against San Diego. Cal Quantrill will go for the Marlins, who have won seven of his past 10 starts. Quantrill has allowed more than one run just once in five appearances. The Red Sox are 0-5 in Bello's past five starts when he pitches with five days' rest, and they are 1-9 in his past 10 interleague starts. The UNDER is 5-0 in Quantrill's past five road outings against teams with winning records and 4-0 UNDER his past four road starts overall. Miami has won five of six versus AL East opponents. Take the Marlins and the UNDER.
