Matt Perrault advised betting the Red Sox over 5.5 runs because Boston owns the hottest lineup in baseball — 86 runs across their last ten games, their best stretch since 2015. At Fenway (27-20 record) they now face Antonio Senzatela’s brutal road profile (6.32 ERA, 1-6 record, .380 BAA, 7 HR in 37 IP). Even when Senzatela survives, Colorado’s bullpen collapses, evidenced by Tuesday’s 10-2 final that was scoreless through five. Lucas Giolito’s home volatility gave Perrault pause, but he noted the right-hander has allowed one total earned run in his past two Fenway starts, meaning Boston’s offense should see plenty of clean innings to mash against a Rockies staff that ranks dead last in bullpen ERA. He framed it simply: “bet the streak” until the Red Sox stop raking.
