Nathan Eovaldi (4-3, 4.43 ERA) is scheduled to start for the Boston Red Sox. He’s struggled as of late, giving up 16 earned runs in his last 3 outings across 13 innings pitched. Eovaldi was the starting pitcher in the embarassing 28-5 loss to the Blue Jays on July 22.

The total runs over/under for this game is currently set at 8. Although I don’t have an official pick on the full game total, I’d lean to bet the over. My prediction is that this game will end 6-4, with the Red Sox winning.
The first official pick I have for this game is Red Sox moneyline at +170 odds. This is a 2 unit play for me, and my betslip is below. I think the Red Sox will get the job done in Houston on Monday, August 1. I found this baseball betting pick on the OddsJam Positive EV sports betting software.
I think that this is one of the best MLB picks on WynnBet sportsbook for 8/1/22. Although the Boston Red Sox have struggled recently, winning only 3 of their last 10 games, I think they’ll bounce back today on August 1. The Houston Astros are 6-4 in their last ten games, but my prediction is that they’ll fall to the Red Sox on Monday.
I have another play in this game, which is the “Yes Run First Inning” (e.g. YRFI). Neither starting pitcher is particularly impressive, and I think being able to get the YRFI at +105 odds is great value. I locked this sharp MLB bet in on DraftKings sportsbook.
