Boston Red Sox vs Oakland Athletics: prediction for the MLB game
The Boston Red Sox go against the Oakland Athletics in the opening game of their MLB regular season series on Tuesday night. Do the visitors have a chance? Here's our prediction.
Command Analysis
Boston Red Sox
USAThe Boston Red Sox have been doing very well in June. The team won 9 of their 12 games and got into the top six in the American League, reaching 0.525 win percentage. Alex Cora's charges are excellent on offense, and if they keep up the good work, they are likely to climb even higher in the table. In the opening game of the series, Nick Pivetta (5-5) will take the mound.
Oakland Athletics
USAThe Oakland Athletics, on the other hand, have been absolutely helpless in the last couple of weeks. Mark Kotsay's side won only once in 12 previous matches, which had been a big blow to the teams' confidence. The Athletics have rarely been successful in Boston before, and we doubt they can put up a fight in such poor form. Jared Koenig (0-1) will get the ball tonight. His performance this season has been unimpressive so far.
Trends
Ставка1st inning: Boston Red Sox win
The Red Sox won the first inning in 2 of the last 3 games.
СтавкаTotal under 9.5 runs
This bet won in 4 of the last 5 head-to-head games in Boston.
Tip and bets
The Red Sox have gained momentum and are now a serious threat to the leaders of the American League, which will only serve to increase motivation in the upcoming series against a clear league outsider. The Athletics have looked terrible since the beginning of the summer, and we don't think they can succeed at Boston due to the huge gap in class and lack of confidence. We suggest backing the hosts tonight.
