As the Red Sox continue their attempt at escalating the American League East standings, the Oakland Athletics have begun to see that the possibility of winning their own division might be slowly slipping away. The Rangers and Angels have just shown better talent and a greater ability to win ball games this year than Oakland has, and the results have followed accordingly. The Red Sox know that they need a good performance in Oakland to make headway in the East, as the Rays and Yankees continue to be very difficult for the Red Sox to overcome in the standings. The Red Sox should be the better team in this particular game and will be getting a fairly good price because they are on the road. The free bet selection by bettingfootballbetting.com is going to be the Boston Red Sox over the Oakland Athletics.
After his victory in the Home Run Derby during the All-Star break, you can expect David Ortiz to have increased confidence moving forward. That is not good for American League pitching, as he was already doing quite well before the break occurred. Ortiz is part of a lineup that includes a resurgent Adrian Beltre who leads the team in average with .329 to go along with 14 HR and 56 RBI. Dustin Pedroia has also been seeing the ball much better in the last month, as he has his average up around the .290 mark. The Red Sox live and die with their bats, and you can bet on the fact that they will play a major role in getting Boston the free wager victory.
Oakland is going to need solid starting pitching from guys like Dallas Braden, Gio Gonzalez, and Brett Anderson if they are to have any chance whatsoever at beating the Boston Red Sox. Trevor Cahill also needs to figure into this mix, as his 3.19 ERA currently leads the Athletics in that particular category. If you are a fan of the Athletics, your major concern has to be the offense. With Kurt Suzuki still the only Athletics hitter to have a double digit home run total, it is easy to see why Oakland has been struggling up to this point in the season. Ryan Sweeney has been hitting good, but it has not been for power, as he only has one total home run for the year. The usually powerful Jack Cust has not been so this year. He only has four home runs to his name and is struggling to consistently find his power swing. Until that happens, Oakland will have very little chance of winning, which makes the Red Sox the free bet selection.
While there is no doubt that this will be a tremendous matchup, you just have to wonder if the Athletics have enough to really be competitive with a team as good as the Red Sox. With no real power hitter, it is going to be very difficult to put runs on the board against a very solid Red Sox pitching staff. The free wager pick of the Boston Red Sox shows that bettingfootballbetting.com is not of the opinion that Oakland has talent that is equivalent to Boston at this particular point of the season.
