The pros at FiveStarPick.com hit another Money Line winner last night as we gave our members the Yankees over the Twins.  Today we switch gears in the American League handicapping tonight’s matchup between the Oakland Athletics and the Boston Red Sox.  Las Vegas Sportsbooks list the Red Sox as -167 Money Line favorites with a total of 9.

Tim Wakefield will try to help the Boston Red Sox to a victory in the final game of this three-game series with the A’s.  Boston will try to earn back-to-back wins for the first time in nearly two weeks and maintain its slim AL East lead.

In his 17th MLB season and 15th with the Boston Red Sox, Wakefield (10-3, 4.30 ERA) finally is finally an All-Star.  His strong first half of the season has included 10 quality starts. One of those came on April 15, when he took a no-hitter into the eighth inning in Oakland, settling for a complete game in Boston’s 8-2 victory.  Josh Beckett tied him for the team lead in victories in Tuesday’s 5-2 victory, but tonight the knuckleballer will have a chance to become the AL’s first 11-game winner.

Even after a 7-6, 11-inning loss to Seattle on Friday, the Red Sox are still 12-4 when Wakefield pitches. The right-hander allowed five runs in eight innings against the Mariners, but he’s still 8-0 with a 3.34 ERA in his last 11 home starts dating back to September.
