Our Los Angeles Dodgers vs Boston Red Sox Prediction

The Dodgers are the heavy favorites in this game; however, the under looks to be the best betting option. This is directly because of the home/away splits between the two starting pitchers. Tolle has made eight road starts this season, in which he has allowed 17 runs (15 earned) over 46.2 innings. Yamamoto, on the other hand, has made 10 home starts this season, in which he has allowed 24 runs (23 earned) over 63.1 innings. 

Because Tolle and Yamamoto have both been more than serviceable at home and on the road, respectively, our Los Angeles Dodgers vs Boston Red Sox prediction is: Under 8 Total Runs.
