Eovaldi has not been at his best in this series. He allowed three runs over 5.1 innings in Game 2, but he ended up getting the win as Luis Garcia and Jake Odorizzi imploded and allowed eight earned runs in the first two innings. Eovaldi came on in relief in the ninth inning of Game 4, but he ended up giving four earned runs with two outs.
The third time will be the charm for the veteran right-hander. Eovaldi will throw at least five solid innings like he did in wins over the Rays and Yankees, while Garcia will struggle once more. Bos 4-3 /U N 9 /J.Willis

Despite Boston being 10-1 in Eovaldi’s last 11 starts, including 3-0 in the postseason, the play is with the home team.
Houston is 54-31 at Minute Maid Park this year, including 3-1 in the playoffs.
The Astros lost their last home game 9-5 in Game 2. They haven’t dropped back-to-back home games since Aug. 22-23.
Houston’s bats turned it up a notch, too, in Games 4 and 5, while Boston struggled at the plate as the Astros outscored the Red Sox 18-3 and outhit them 23-8. Houston 8-7 /JParlay
PASS since the juice is a bit costly on the Astros +1.5 (-190). Plus, they’re 40-45 ATS at home.

Boston is a decent 49-36 ATS on the road, but the alternate line of Red Sox +1.5 (-205) is also too chalky.
OVER 8.5 (-130) is the STRONGEST PLAY – 1½ times your usual wager – as both clubs are on 8-0 Over runs.
O/U records:
Regular season: Red Sox 74-85-3 | Astros 86-69-7
Postseason: Red Sox 8-1-1 | Astros 8-1
The Over is 5-0 in this series. Even Game 4, which was tied 2-2 after eight innings, went Over with the Astros scoring 7 runs in the ninth of their 9-2 victory.
The Over is also 48-36-1 at Minute Maid Park this season. By J.Parlay

How can we not continue to back these two offenses? The over has cashed in each of the first five games of this series and both lineups are just crushing the ball right now.
I do think Boston has a decent starting pitching advantage with Eovaldi on the mound and I would probably play the Red Sox on the first five moneyline if it gets to -110 or better.
However, another reason to like the over is the Boston bullpen has been a nightmare. Of the 47 earned runs the Red Sox have allowed this postseason, 27 have been surrendered by the bullpen. They have allowed 21 runs in the seventh inning or later this postseason, the most by far and three times as many as Houston.
Garcia has really struggled, and Boston should have a ton of confidence against him. There is also the added possibility of him reaggravating that knee injury.
These two teams have the two highest OPS numbers of any postseason teams. They are first and second in runs per game by a wide margin, as well as hits and home runs.
The total on Friday is just 8.5, and not only has at least nine runs been scored in all five games of this series, but one team has cleared this total by themselves in each of the last four games. Until we see something change, I will continue back the over between these two teams.
