This is a 10* GAME OF THE WEEK on the Boston Red Sox.
After dropping the first two games of this series, Boston bounced back with a 7-5 win on Sunday. The Red Sox will now look to split the series on Monday afternoon and they have to be feeling pretty confident in sending ace Chris Sale to the hill.
Sale: He received a no-decision in his first start for his new team, going seven scoreless and allowing just three hits and one walk while striking out seven. Last year he was particularly effective on the road, going 8-5 with a 2.85 ERA.
Justin Verlander: He beat the White Sox 6-3 in his first start of the year, allowing two earned runs off six hits and two walks while striking out ten over 6.1 innings.
The bottom line: Note that Boston is 3-1 (+2 units) in its last four after scoring seven or more runs, while Detroit is just 1-3 (-2.5 units) in is last four after allowing seven or more runs. The Red Sox had the No. 1 offense in the league last year and until yesterday, it had been stuck in neutral to open the 2017 campaign. As good as Verlander looked in his first start, we're giving the big nod to Sale in this matchup. All things considered, we feel we're getting a great price in this matchup, play on BOSTON.
