Red Sox -245 vs Athletics? Boston's home form makes this a no-brainer.

The God of Odds likes the Boston Red Sox on the moneyline at -245, and BetOnline.ag is the place to hammer it. This isn't a sexy pick, but it's a smart one. Boston owns a 34-22 home record, and they've beaten the Athletics in 4 of their last 5 meetings. The Athletics are in freefall, losers of 9 of their last 10, and they're allowing 5.8 runs per game on the season.

Boston's pitching has been solid, with a 4.13 ERA, while Oakland's staff is getting battered at 5.47. The Red Sox score 4.7 runs per game, and they're facing a team that's giving up runs in bunches. The moneyline has moved from -230 to -245, which tells you sharp money is on Boston. The Red Sox also cover at a 65% clip against the spread, and they win outright 29 times in 53 moneyline decisions.

Injuries? Boston is missing Tim Elko and Mason Adams, but that hasn't slowed them down. The Athletics are 45-71 for a reason. This is a mismatch on paper, and the odds reflect it, but there's still value at -245.

BetOnline.ag has the best price on the Red Sox at -245. Other books like Bovada are dealing -265, so you're getting a better number at BetOnline. Don't overthink this. Boston at home against a struggling Oakland team is a strong play. Lock it in.
