This is an 8* play on BOSTON

We had the Red Sox yesterday (they won 9-4) and our view that this is a series where they'll get "back on track" (whether it be temporarily or permanently) remains unchanged. Tuesday's starter Rick Porcello has been pretty bad so far this year, but Oakland's Aaron Brooks hasn't been any better. The Athletics are 0-4 so far priced between +125 and +175 on the road and that's where we find them today. They've dropped four in a row, all on the road, and this is a team clearly searching for answers right now. The A's did take an early 4-0 lead on Monday, but an error-filled 3rd inning led to a six-run rally for Boston. That one inning may be all that the Red Sox need to get things pointed in the right direction here. Brooks has given up a total of six home runs in his last four starts for Oakland, who is 19-46 in their last 65 games played at Fenway Park. Play on BOSTON
