This is a 10* BLOOD-BATH on the Red Sox runline.

The Phillies have been playing great, but in a contest that I see being decided late, or even in extras, I'm going to grab the home side on the runline option.

I had Boston on the runline yesterday, and while that didn't work out in the Phillies eventual 4-1 win, note that the Red Sox have in fact gone 8-4 in their last 12 in trying to avenge a home loss as an underdog vs. an opponent.

As mentioned, the starting pitching matchup is even, with Cristopher Sanchez (3-3, 2.71 ERA) going for the visitors and Nick Pivetta (3-4, 3.40) countering for the home side.

The value swings to the undervalued underdog here, but in this case we'll lay the reasonable price for the extra 1.5 runs of insurance vs. the red-hot Phillies.

The play is BOSTON on the RUNLINE.

Good luck, NP
