This is a FREE PLAY on the Red Sox.

Boston has moved to 22-21 on the road this year after taking the first two games of this three-game series and I think the Red Sox will now complete the sweep in what sets up as another favorable starting pitching matchup for them on Sunday night.

The Angels are now 21-24 at home and they turn to Ryan Johnson (1-3, 7.40 ERA), who gave up three runs over five innings in a loss to the Mariners in his last outing. He owns a pedestrian 18:9 K:BB over 24.1 innings of work this season.

He'll be opposed by Ranger Suarez (4-3, 2.94 ERA), who gave up three runs with eight K's over six innings in a win over the Nationals in his last trip to the hill.

Suarez excelled in June, posting a 2.10 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and a 35:7 K:BB over five starts.

I think Suarez and the RED SOX are worth a "second look" on Sunday night.

Good luck, NP

USA vs Belgium – 8:00 PM ET on Fox
Match Preview
The United States head into this knockout clash with a major psychological and tactical lift: FIFA has overturned Folarin Balogun’s suspension, making the tournament’s leading U.S. scorer (3 goals) available for selection. That decision, combined with a gritty 10-man 2-0 victory over Bosnia, has energized the American squad heading into a hostile but ultimately supportive environment at Lumen Field in Seattle.
USA Strengths:

Explosive transitional speed that can punish older, slower defensive lines.
Christian Pulisic’s creativity and ability to generate high-quality chances against disorganized defenses.
Home-crowd advantage from a raucous Seattle crowd that should push the U.S. in the latter stages of the match.

Belgium Strengths & Vulnerabilities:

Dangerous attack capable of producing moments of magic, as shown in their wild 3-2 win over Senegal.
Solid goalkeeping that has kept them in games.
However, their backline has looked vulnerable throughout the tournament, conceding 5.52 expected goals against (xGA). Defensive errors have repeatedly gifted opponents clear-cut shooting opportunities.

Tactical Outlook
This matchup pits two teams with lethal transition threats against each other. Belgium’s backline lacks the pace and cohesion to consistently handle the U.S. speed on the counter, while the Americans must be wary of Belgium’s ability to punish set pieces and quick breaks.
Given the open nature of both sides’ recent performances and Belgium’s defensive lapses, this has the ingredients to break the typical cautious knockout-stage trend. Expect end-to-end action and plenty of goal-scoring chances.
Betting Recommendations

USA Draw No Bet -102
The U.S. has the momentum, the crowd, the key reinstatement, and the athleticism to exploit Belgium’s aging defense. They should at least avoid defeat, and late-game speed could see them pull ahead.
Over 2.5 Goals -150
While the line is somewhat juiced, Belgium’s defensive vulnerabilities (high xGA and clear-cut chances conceded) combined with both teams’ potent transitional attacks make this a strong spot for goals. Two high-powered offenses meeting leaky defenses rarely ends quietly.
Folarin Balogun Anytime Goalscorer +168 (Strongest player prop)
The psychological boost of his surprise reinstatement is massive. Facing a loose Belgian backline that has struggled positionally, the American talisman looks primed to deliver a statement performance.

Summary:
USA enters with superior energy, home support, and a clear target in Belgium’s vulnerable defense. While Belgium’s attack keeps them dangerous, the defensive frailties tip the scales toward the home side and an entertaining, high-scoring affair. Lean USA DNB and Over 2.5, with Balogun as the standout player prop.
