Our Tampa Bay Rays vs Boston Red Sox Prediction
Tampa Bay is the favorite in this game; however, Boston looks to be the best betting option. This goes back to the home/away splits between the two starting pitchers. Tolle has made 12 away starts this season, in which he has allowed just 22 runs (20 earned) over 72.0 innings. Peralta, on the other hand, has made 16 home starts (between the Mets and the Rays), where he has allowed 40 runs (34 earned) over 83.2 innings.
Simply put, given that Tolle has been at his best on the road this season, our Tampa Bay Rays vs. Boston Red Sox prediction is: Boston Red Sox ML.
