The Houston Astros emerged victorious in a battle of the last two World Series champions in a 3-1 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Friday, but the Red Sox will be looking to get some redemption tonight. Sportsbooks opened the Astros as slight -109 road favorites with a total of 10.5.
Standout Stats
My best bet for Astros-Red Sox
Red Sox moneyline
These teams are incredibly evenly matched and are playing the part of the defending World Series champions right now, but I’m on the Red Sox to bounce back in the second game of the series and pick up a win tonight.
With Martin making only his second career start, I expect the Red Sox to take advantage of the rookie and get back on track offensively at Fenway Park.
The OVER is 15-6 in the last 21 meetings between the Red Sox and Astros in Boston. The Astros are 1-4 in the last five meetings with the Red Sox. The OVER is 5-1 in the Red Sox' last six games.home
