Milwaukee Brewers at Boston Red Sox odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Milwaukee Brewers at Boston Red Sox odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Boston Red Sox (26-25) welcome the Milwaukee Brewers (29-21) to Fenway Park Saturday. First pitch in the 2nd game of the 3-game series is set for 4:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Brewers vs. Red Sox odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Brewers lead 1-0

The Brewers beat the Red Sox 7-2 to kick off the series, covering as underdogs and closing at +117 on the moneyline. Milwaukee, which sits atop the NL Central, is 3-4 straight up over its last 7 games and just 5-6 over its last 11. The Brewers are 28-22 against the spread (ATS) on the season.

The Red Sox saw their 4-game winning streak snapped with the loss Friday. They had swept the Tampa Bay Rays in the series prior. That win streak piggybacked off a 4-game losing streak. Boston sits 3rd in the AL East and is 23-28 ATS. It is 7-6 over its last 13 games.

Brewers at Red Sox picks and predictions

Prediction

Brewers 6, Red Sox 4

Moneyline

BET BREWERS (+120).

Boston is the 6th-worst home team in MLB with a 10-14 straight up record at Fenway, and its starting pitcher, Pivetta, has struggled heavily in his career against the Brewers.

Milwaukee is the flip of that and is a strong 17-12 on the road this season. The Brewers are 16-12 following a win as well. They are 4-2 in Rea’s last 6 starts.

Back BREWERS (+120).

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

The Brewers as run-line underdogs are just too expensive, and the moneyline offers better value. While the Red Sox are enticing here, their home struggles diminish any value.

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 9.5 (+100).

The Brewers have gone Over in 5 of their last 10 games, but they have been hot offensively for most of the season with a 29-20-1 O/U record. Milwaukee has scored at least 7 in 2 of its last 3.

The Red Sox might be 19-29-3 O/U, but they have gone Over in 5 of their last 8 games, scoring at least 5 runs in 4 of their last 5. Back OVER 9.5 (+100).

Brewers at Red Sox picks and predictions

Prediction

Brewers 5, Red Sox 4

Money line

Boston has played a much tougher schedule of late. But with scuffling Winckowski on the bump, it will take plus-money closer to +130 to get to acceptable action leverage. PASS otherwise.

Run line/Against the spread

Both clubs have played a lot of 1-run games. Boston’s relief corps is in much better shape heading into this series finale.

The Sox are at their best when facing lefty hurlers (.760 OPS).

BACK THE RED SOX +1.5 (-135).

Over/Under

Both bullpens have better underlying numbers than surface numbers. The same goes for both starters.

There is a lean in principle on the Under 9.5 (-112). But the pricing here seems to be counter to the market by more than a few cents. Hold out for a -107 or better on the 9.5 total.

RHP Brandon Woodruff vs. RHP Brayan Bello

Woodruff (8-3, 3.73 ERA) is making his 15th start of the 2022 season. He has a 1.16 WHIP, 2.7 BB/9 and 11.5 K/9 in 72 1/3 IP.

  • Owns a 3.30 ERA and 1.08 WHIP in 532 1/3 career IP.

Bello (0-2, 10.50 ERA) is tabbed for his 4th start. He has a 2.50 WHIP, 6.0 BB/9 and 6.8 K/9 in 12 IP.

  • The 23-year-old rookie made his Major League debut July 6.

Brewers at Red Sox picks and predictions

Prediction

Brewers 5, Red Sox 4

Money line

Boston has played a much tougher schedule of late. Its talent would warrant a plus-money underdog play at +140 or better. PASS otherwise.

Run line/Against the spread

Woodruff’s recent numbers have been buoyed by a 100% home-run avoidance rate. On a warm, wind-out-to-center night at Fenway, and off back-to-back starts with 100-plus pitches, look for some regression.

Both clubs have played a lot of 1-run games.

BACK THE RED SOX +1.5 (-117).

Over/Under

Both bullpens have better underlying numbers than surface numbers. The same goes for both starters.

Boston struggles against right-handed pitching and is off its game to begin with. There is a lean in principle on the Under 9.5 (-135). But rarely is a 25-cent Under going to provide enough value. HOLD OUT FOR A BETTER PRICE.
