Dodgers vs Red Sox prediction
My Dodgers vs Red Sox best bet: Red Sox moneyline (+100 at bet365)
The Los Angeles Dodgers are the World Series favorites but have looked very beatable lately going 4-11 in their last 15 games. They have issues at the bottom of their rotation which is where they are today with Emmet Sheehan on the hill.
The 25-year-old throws with plenty of velocity but can get hit hard and has an xBA of .273. He's only 14 months removed from Tommy John surgery so he won't pitch deep.
That means plenty of innings for an L.A. bullpen that is struggling, posting a 4.91 ERA with a 1.43 WHIP since the start of June.
Dodgers sluggers like Freddie Freeman, Teoscar Hernandez, and former Red Sox Mookie Betts have also been mired in slumps.
Since the start of June, Freeman is slugging just .290 while Hernandez and Betts have an OPS below .600.
They will face red-hot Brayan Bello and a strong Boston Red Sox bullpen tonight. Bello has a 2.74 ERA with a 1.03 WHIP in his last 10 starts.
Boston batters have thrived at Fenway, ranking third in the majors in OPS at home (.799). With the Red Sox going 9-1 in their last 10 games at home, back them at plus money here.

Red Sox moneyline
Teoscar Hernandez Under 1.5 total bases
Roman Anthony Over 1.5 total bases
Teoscar Hernandez is slashing just .199/.245/.319 since the start of June.
He struggles against righties and won't find it easy to pick up extra-base hits against Bello who is in the top 25th percentile in hard-hit rate and exit velocity.
Roman Anthony entered the bigs with sky-high expectations after dominating the minors.
He got off to a slow start when he joined the team in June but has found his groove, slashing .337/.415/.494 over the last 22 games.
Anthony has been significantly more productive at home and he has thrived with the platoon advantage, slugging .469 against righties like Sheehan.
