Phillies vs Red Sox Free Pick June 12, 2017

The Red Sox host the Phillies in Game 1 of a four game home and home series on Monday, and I expect to see another slugfest at Fenway. Boston took two of three games in a home series versus Detroit over the weekend, and the two teams combined to score 33 runs.

Jerad Eickhoff will toe the slab for the Phillies, and he’s still looking for his first victory of 2017. Eickhoff (0-7, 5.15 ERA) allowed four runs on four hits over five innings in a 14-1 loss at Atlanta his last time out. This will be his second career start at Fenway, and he was torched for six runs on eight hits in just four innings, losing his first start in Boston.

The Red Sox hand the ball to Rick Porcello, who hasn’t missed many bats in 2017. The reigning AL Cy Young winner hasn’t looked anything like the pitcher than won 22 games in 2016. Porcello (3-8, 4.46 ERA) was torched for six runs on eight hits and two walks over six innings in an 8-0 loss to the Yankees his last time out. He’s surrendered a whopping 22 hits over 13 innings in his last two home starts.

The Phillies have gone over in 10 of their last 14 games at Fenway, and the over is 22-8-1 in their last 31 inter-league games.

Take OVER.
