The defending World Series champion Boston Red Sox are off to a slow start to this season, losing four of their first five games, including the opener of a four-game series in Oakland Monday night. And yet sportsbooks have Boston as a heavy favorite for Game 2 of this series with the A’s tonight.

Chicago just dropped two of three games to the Rangers in Texas over the weekend, losing Sunday’s series rubber match 11-10. The Cubs led Sunday 4-0 early and 8-5 into the bottom of the sixth inning but the bullpen proceeded to give up six runs from there, losing the game on a wild pitch by Pedro Strop in the bottom of the ninth. Can Chicago pick themselves up after this letdown versus the Braves? Sportsbooks have the Braves and Sean Newcomb as small favorites at -105 and Darin Zank has your MLB pick.

These two teams have put up 29 points in the first two games of this series. They may find the going tougher tonight with the Red Sox sending out Eduardo Rodriguez and the Mariners countering with Mike Leake.

This pitching match-up between Freddy Peralta and Jack Flaherty is a re-match of a game played last August in St. Louis. The Cardinals won the game with a score of 5-2. In this one the Brewers should be short handed in the bullpen. Darin Zank has your MLB pick!
