Brewers vs Red Sox Prediction 

Boston was able to get a much needed win on Tuesday night and they will look for the series win here. The Red Sox are 2-3 at home this year, while the Brewers are 3-2 on the road. Milwaukee has been very good through their first 11 games, but they have allowed at least five runs in three of their last four. This is a pretty solid pitching matchup, but I do think both offenses will find success against the starters. Take the over here.
