The Phillies will host the Boston Red Sox at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia in a three-game series. Game One of this series is scheduled for 6:45 p.m. EST.
Both teams got the second half of the season off to a rough start, losing two of three games over the weekend. Boston dropped the first two vs. the Cubs in Chicago, 4-12 and 6-1. But the offense came alive in the series finale, and they won the finale, 6-1. Philadelphia lost its opener vs. the Los Angeles Angels 6-5 but bounced back and won the second 9-5, but lost the series finale Sunday 8-2. The Red Sox have Walker Buehler scheduled to start. Buehler has gone 6-6 in 16 starts with a 6.12 ERA, 1.56 WHIP, and .282 OBA. He has had a hard time on the road this season, going 3-4 in eight starts with an 8.66 ERA and .342 OBA. Philadelphia is scheduled to start Zack Wheeler. Wheeler is 9-3 in 19 starts with a 2.36 ERA, .86 WHIP, and .181 OBA. He has been at his best at home, where he is 6-1 in ten starts with a 1.91 ERA and .164 OBA.

Our Philadelphia Phillies vs Boston Red Sox Prediction
What do you get when you take a struggling pitcher and give him a road start (where he happens to play his worst), and his opponent is one of the best homefield pitchers in baseball? You get a one-sided, ugly game, which in this case means a win for the Phillies. Boston’s lineup doesn’t stand a chance against Wheeler; I expect fireworks from the Philly lineup vs. Buehler.
Our Boston vs. Philadelphia Pick: Phillies -2.5 (alt runline)
