The Boston Red Sox continue to surge and with last night’s 5-3 win over the Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Park they have now won 7 straight. Philadelphia has been just the opposite. They have now lost 5 in a row but the 2022 World Series runners up have too much talent to continue to slide and I expect they get back on track tonight. The slated starters are Cory Kluber for the Sox and Bailey Falter for Philadelphia. Neither one has been putting fear in opposing batters. Kluber is 1-4 with a 6.44 ERA and Falter is 0-5 with a 5.01 ERA. Bryce Harper is starting to heat up and Kyle Schwarber has gone 0-14 in his last 14 plate appearances so he is due for a big outing. Winning and losing trends don’t last forever.
TONIGHT’S PICK: PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES
