BOSTON – The Boston Red Sox will look to take a 3-1 series lead over the Houston Astros on Tuesday night. Sportsbooks are expecting a high-scoring game.
Best Game Line: OVER 10.0 Runs
The Houston Astros and Boston Red Sox have been scoring and allowing runs at a high rate this entire postseason. The average total of a Red Sox game this postseason is 11.75 while the average total of an Astros game is 12.14. Online sportsbooks have set the total at a seemingly achievable number.
Astros Vs. Red Sox Total
- OVER 10.0 -110
- UNDER 10.0 -110
The Red Sox and Astros are the two best offensive teams remaining in the playoffs by a wide margin. They’re the only teams hitting above .240 and they’re currently at .271 and .317, the 0.40 margin is consistent with OBP and SLG as well.
Best Game Prop: Run Scored In First Inning
The game could very well be high-scoring, but it’s equally as likely that the game will get off to a quick start with a run in the first inning. Zack Greinke and Nick Pivetta, the starting pitchers, have a 3.10 and 4.20 ERA in the first inning this season.
Run Scored In First Inning
- Yes -145
- No +110
Those betting on the MLB should take note of not only the lackluster first-inning pitching but the impressive batting being seen too. Boston was the top first-inning scoring team in the league this season, while Houston was also in the top 10.
