Rotation #972
Red Sox -1.5 runs over Marlins -115 (loss)
Crochet/Junk
The Marlins have the fewest home runs in MLB against left-handed pitching and are one of the worst teams in the league at generating offense against lefties. Red Sox starter Garrett Crochet should be around double-digit punch-outs before his day ends. It’s hard to trust the Miami offense on the road. Boston will look to take advantage of Janson Junk, as he doesn’t have much power. The Marlins have been struggling and won’t have an easy time against one of the league’s best home teams. We will take the run line. Take the Red Sox -1.5 runs -115.
