This is a 10* ART OF WAR is on the Boston Red Sox.

We think that Chris Sale and the revenge minded Red Sox offer great value in this spot after yesterday's 8-1 series opening defeat. Sale (7-4, 2.56 ERA) went seven scoreless and struck out 13 and walking one in a win over Seattle on Sunday. 71 of his 93 pitches would go for strikes and he's now struck out 43 over his last 28 innings of work. Note that Sale has been sharp on the road this year by going 4-2 with a 2.57 ERA. The home side sends Sonny Gray (5-5, 4.93) to the hill and he most recently allowed four runs off six hits over 6.2 innings in a loss to Tampa Bay on Saturday. Gray didn't pitch horribly in that one, but note that he's still a horrible 2-2 with a 7.22 ERA at home this season. We think SALE can out-duel his erratic counterpart. Lay the price, play on the RED SOX.
