Free MLB Pick
The Red Sox put up seven runs last night, but that hasn’t been the norm in recent games with Boston scoring 2.25 runs per game in their previous four. The OVER was money in the bank for an extended stretch earlier this season, but that was awhile back and 4-4-2 against the total line in their last 10 scoring two or less runs in six of those games. Both pitchers have good historical stats against the active rosters although the Tigers have only seven at bats against Wade Miley hitting .143 while Boston’s roster has hit .212 against starter Alfred Simon in 33 at bats. Simon has one start against the Red Sox this season and it was a good six innings allowing one run on five hits.
