Marlins vs Red Sox Prediction
Boston had plenty of momentum about a week ago and they were gaining ground on Toronto, but they have lost two series in a row. The Red Sox are 39-22 at home this year, while the Marlins are 30-32 on the road. Miami has allowed at least seven runs in three of their last five games and they are starting Alcantara, who has allowed 11 earned runs and 16 hits in his last 12.0 innings. Boston is starting Giolito, who has allowed 4, 1, 1, 5, and 4 earned runs in his last five outings. I think we are going to see plenty of offense in this game, so I like the over here.
