Expert picks & predictions for tonight’s game between the Red Sox and the Phillies
Rotoworld Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes the value on Boston to miss the postseason:
“Boston has the third-toughest remaining strength of schedule (.516 winning %). Let’s look at the first 15 games of the second half for Boston:
3 road games at the Cubs (1-2 record)
3 road games at the Phillies (0-1 record)
3 home games vs the Dodgers
3 road games at the Twins
3 home games vs the Astros
That schedule alone could put them behind and make a +105 to -115 bet became -200 to -300 quickly. During the All-Star break, I played Boston at plus-money to miss the postseason and think it’s still a good bet after losing three of four after the break.”
