Ben's ELITE Bonus Play
Boston Red Sox vs Oakland Athletics
Oakland Athletics -107
Last night's thriller was the type of victory that the A's can build positive momentum from. Note that they're 30-18, when off a win. The opposite figures to be true for Boston. Pivetta goes for the visitors. He's got a 4.43 ERA overall and a 5.06 ERA his past three starts. Last time out, he gave up six runs, on nine hits, against the Royals. He was taken deep three times, in just 4 1/3 innings. On the other hand, Kaprielian is off b2b quality starts. On the season, he's got a dominant 1.42 ERA and 0.842 WHIP, when starting at home. At a pick'em price, consider Oakland.
