Stephen Nover's MLB July 4 Blowout Celebration Winner - 67% Hot Streak
(MLB) Boston vs. Oakland,
Money Line: -106.00 Oakland (Home)
Result: Loss
This has been an exciting series. I rate the A's, though, a stronger edge at home than what the opening line is.

The Red Sox have won 43 of 61 games versus non-AL West teams. But against AL West foes they are 9-14. Boston traditionally has trouble playing in Oakland like many other teams do.

The pitching matchup is Nick Pivetta versus James Kaprielian. Pivetta has a 4.43 ERA and a much higher WHIP than Kaprielian, who has a 3.06 ERA and has given up two or fewer runs in six of his nine starts.

Pivetta hasn't won since May 26. He has a 5.06 ERA in his last three starts and has surrendered eight homers during his past four starts.
