OAKLAND A’S VS BOSTON RED SOX PREDICTION
This will be a bullpen game for the A’s and Oakland’s bullpen has a 3.87 ERA. Rodriguez has had a good season but his numbers are padded by Boston’s offense. The Red Sox have now lost 2 straight games and have only scored 6 runs in the last 3 games. The A’s have a career batting average of .275 against Rodriguez with Piscotty, Chapman, Kemp, and Lowrie hitting over .300. At Fenway, lefties have an advantage with hitting the long ball which could help get Olson and Moreland’s bats going as well. Both teams should put up some runs in this game to send the Total Over the number and the A’s are playing better right now which gives them the best chance to win. These teams are 22-15 each with both competing at the top of the AL so you can expect both teams to compete in this matchup.
