"Andrew Painter is one of the most talked-about pitching prospects in the league, and tonight, he's walking into one of the most intimidating environments in baseball. He's going up against Sonny Gray, a guy who has seen everything the league can throw at him and knows exactly how to work a high-powered lineup like Philadelphia's. It's the kind of game where the atmosphere at Fenway will be just as much of a factor as the scouting reports."
"Because of Gray's track record and the home-field advantage, the books have the Red Sox as -131 moneyline favorites. If you're feeling the Phillies as road dogs, they're sitting at +109, which is a pretty enticing price for a team with that much offensive depth. The total is hovering at 9 runs, and while both pitchers are solid, sportsbooks are giving a lot of respect to the bats and Fenway's tendency to turn simple fly balls into run-scoring doubles off the Green Monster."
"When it comes to the long ball, Kyle Schwarber is the obvious target at +233. He's already mashed 17 homers this season, and the short distance to Pesky's Pole in right field at Fenway is a perfect fit for his pull-heavy power. If you're looking for a higher payout, you might look at Wilyer Abreu or Bryce Harper, both at +492, who have the power to clear the walls in any part of the park"
