The Boston Red Sox (4-8, 1-5 Away) will try to keep the good times rolling today as they head out onto the road for a three-game series with the Cardinals (7-5, 4-2 Home) in St. Louis. Fans can follow the action tonight on MLB.TV when the game gets underway at Busch Stadium at 8:15 p.m. EST.
Boston began the season with a shutout road win vs. the Reds in Cincinnati, 3-0, but went on to lose the next five in a row, all on the road. Things were not too much better at home, where they were 1-3 before taking the last two of the series vs. Milwaukee. They’ll give the ball to Connelly Early to start the day. He has a 2.89 ERA and ten strikeouts to his name, but has yet to make it past 5 1/3 innings and has walked six, but has yet to give up a home run.
St Louis is coming home after going 3-3 on a short road trip, but went 3-1 in the last four. Dustin May is set to start the day for the Cardinals, so put any and all Red Sox into your fantasy lineups. May has a 15.95 ERA after giving up six runs in four innings in his first start and seven runs in his second, which lasted just 3 1/3 innings.

Our St. Louis Cardinals vs Boston Red Sox Prediction
I do not see a good reason why the public is getting behind Boston so much (69% ML tickets and 70% of the handle). Yes, they’ve won their last two, but they were2-8 prior to those wins for a reason. Dustin May has a good history against the few Red Sox players he’s faced, but that’s not enough to overlook his massive ERA. Even if the Boston bullpen dominated once May gets pulled, the Cardinals' lineup could do well enough against May to give St. Louis the cushion it needs to cover.
Our Pick: Boston vs. St. Louis Pick: Cardinals ML
