Red Sox vs. Angels betting picks and predictions
Boston Red Sox ML (-155)
Our best bet for this game between the Red Sox and Angels is to target the Red Sox to win. Boston enters this game well under .500, and because of that, is currently in last place in the American League East division.
Despite their poor record, the Red Sox have been playing much more consistently as of late.
Looking to Game 3 of this series against the Angels, the Red Sox are scheduled to start Ranger Suarez, who has a record of 4-3 and an ERA of 2.94. Most notably, Suarez has been lights out on the road this season, posting an ERA of 2.12 over eight road starts. In these starts, he has allowed 13 runs (11 earned) in 46.2 innings.
As for Los Angeles, they enter this game as one of the worst teams in the entire league. As a result, the Angels are in last place in the AL West division. To make matters worse, Los Angeles is scheduled to start Ryan Johnson, who has a record of 1-3 and an ERA of 7.40.
His home splits have not been good either, as he has posted an ERA of 6.55 in four appearances (one start). In these appearances, Johnson has allowed eight earned runs over 11.0 innings.
While the Red Sox have been below average this season, their recent run of wins and the fact that they are starting their best pitcher make backing the Boston Red Sox to win our best bet.
Willson Contreras to Hit a Home Run (+375)
Our favorite player prop for this game will be for Willson Contreras, from the Boston Red Sox, to hit a home run. Contreras has easily been the player for Boston this season, as he is hitting .286 and leads the team with 18 home runs.
Of his 18 home runs this season, 13 of them have come against right-handed pitching, which is what Contreras will see here with Ryan Johnson on the mound. He has also had success on the road this season, hitting .260, with eight of his 18 home runs coming away from Fenway Park.
Given his success this season, backing Contreras to hit a home run will be our play.
