The Boston Red Sox have been a delight for automatic tailing thanks to a 26 and 3 stretch. This has also been an extreme benefit to attack their prop market. Several players have had prolonged success including Andrew Monasterio. He had the key double in extra innings yesterday, and has had a hit in 17 out of his last 18 games. Tail Monasterio in all phases tonight against an Athletics team he had three RBI’s, two runs, and four hits against in late July.
This is a tough matchup for southpaw Jack Perkins against a Boston lineup that not only has crushed opposing left hand pitchers this season, but also possess a bottom five K Rate against them as well. Perkins has been shaky at times and 5 strikeouts against this Boston lineup is a tall order.
The poor Athletics have lost 11 of 12. They were just swept by the Reds, suffering three one-run defeats. This matchup does not look as favorable. Boston has been the hottest team in baseball over the last month. Just over the last two weeks, the Red Sox OPS at home is .845 and vs. right-handers is .811. Those splits are roughly 300 points higher than what the A’s are doing. Payton Tolle (6-6, 3.30 ERA) has been solid, and he should get run sport as the surging Sox lineup faces Jack Perkins (0-4, 7.44 ERA last seven games) and a bullpen with a 6.26 ERA since mid-July.
