Philadelphia Phillies vs Boston Red Sox Prediction

This should be a hell of a baseball game. Usually you'd jump at the chance to take the Phillies and Aaron Nola at a cheap price, and it's a position you're not going to get often. However, Tanner Houck has been just as good, and he's currently top-5 in odds to win the AL CY Young. You can make a case for either side, but I do like the slightly cheaper price with the Red Sox at home, a team that's fighting to stay above .500 and starting to show flashes of consistency. Again, this is going to be a fabulous matchup. Give me the Red Sox because of home field.
