It's Boston Red Sox versus Los Angeles Dodgers in a sensational Sunday Night Baseball matchup for July 21, 2024. The Dodgers won in extras in a rousing contest yesterday, after a rousing tenth inning saw both teams score two runs. From there, Dodgers catcher Will Smith hit a walk-off single to score Enrique Hernandez and win the game.
Let's dive into my MLB picks for tonight's Sunday Night Baseball showdown.
MLB Expert Pick Today: Red Sox (+105) vs Dodgers
Red Sox vs Dodgers Odds - Game Time: 7:11 pm ET
This thrilling interleague series finale gets underway on Sunday Night Baseball, with the Dodgers aiming for a sweep.
On the flip side, the Red Sox are 3-0 on Sunday Night Baseball so far this season. Boston will be buoyed by the presence of Kutter Crawford on the mound. He's already taken home two wins on Sunday Night this season, and has given up just 3.04 ERA on the year.
Another feather in their cap is that big lefty James Paxton will be the starter for the Dodgers. He's allowed a horrendous 4.38 ERA this season and owns just a 13.2% strikeout rate in the month of July. Paxton's allowed 14 runs over his last three starts, and is in store for another rough outing against the Red Sox on Sunday night.
Boston have won five of their last eight road games, and have scored five or more runs in five of their last seven outings. I think the pitching matchup favors the Sox and like them to pull off the slight upset on Sunday Night Baseball.
