Boston Red Sox
Moneyline Pick - Boston Red Sox (-140): B+

The Boston Red Sox, on a 3-7 run in their last ten games, are set to host the Los Angeles Angels, who have the same record in their last ten. Boston's offense has been effective against left-handed pitching, boasting a .465 slugging percentage. Their starting pitcher has been solid at home albeit in starts that barely last into the 5th inning. The Red Sox bullpen has also been reliable at Fenway Park, posting a 3.21 ERA in May. Conversely, the Angels are dealing with injuries to key players, which has impacted their lineup depth. Their starting pitcher has struggled on the road recently, allowing nine runs over his past two starts.

Given these factors, backing the Red Sox at -160 appears to be a solid play. While the payout isn't substantial, the combination of Boston's current form, pitching advantage, and home-field performance makes this a confident pick.

Over/Under Pick - Over 9.5 (-110): B

The Boston Red Sox, aiming to rebound from a recent slump, face the Los Angeles Angels, who are dealing with their own slump coming into this matchup. Boston's starting pitcher has shown flashes of brilliance this season. However, consistency has been an issue, as evidenced by a recent outing where he allowed seven runs in under five innings. The Red Sox bullpen is also under strain, especially after a taxing 12-inning game yesterday.

On the other side, the Angels' starter has a less than stellar track record against Boston, with an 0-3 record and ERA well north of 5.00, in nine appearances. Both teams are dealing with injuries to key players, affecting their lineup depth. Given the current form of both teams and the potential for offensive fireworks, the over on the 9.5 total runs appears to be a prudent bet. While no bet is without risk, the conditions suggest a higher-scoring game, making the over a reasonable choice for this matchup.

Spread Pick - Boston Red Sox, -1.5 (-143): Grade B

The Boston Red Sox, aiming to rebound from a recent slump, face the Los Angeles Angels, who have lost three of their last five games. Boston's starting pitcher has shown flashes of brilliance this season, but has also been very hittable at times. Consistency has been an issue for him, as evidenced by a recent outing where he allowed seven runs in under five innings. The Red Sox bullpen is also under strain, especially after a taxing 12-inning game yesterday.

Given how both teams are trending, backing Boston on the run line at -1.5 offers solid value. The Red Sox have consistently handled weaker opponents by multiple runs, while the Angels’ struggles in close games suggest they’re vulnerable when contests stay tight. With Boston’s offense in rhythm and their bullpen sharper in recent outings, the matchup leans heavily toward the home side pulling away late. While not entirely without risk, the current circumstances make this a strong play for those seeking a bit more cushion than a straight moneyline wager.
