Although it's a short sample size for pitcher Jose Urena, Nathan Eovaldi of the Red Sox is in better form currently. Both teams having bad relieving pitching and the Red Sox have the slightly better hitting team that also has more power. With that said I like the Red Sox to come out with a win & I see there being many runs scored in this game so I also like the over.
