Red Sox vs Astros Preview, Parlay Picks

The Red Sox will hand their ace, Garrett Crochet, the ball on Monday night. The southpaw has put together an outstanding season, posting a 13-4 record and a 2.24 ERA.
Crochet ranks first in MLB in wins and second in ERA. I anticipate another strong start from the Red Sox ace tonight.
Houston will counter with right-hander Christian Javier.
Javier will be making his season debut tonight. I expect him to be sharp and able to limit the Red Sox offense.
[subheader sizedown=”true” center=”false” text=”Carlos Correa 1+ Hit” logo1url=”https://static.sprtactn.co/teamlogos/mlb/100/hou.png” link1=”https://www.actionnetwork.com/mlb/odds/houston-astros” link1follow=“false”][/subheader]
Correa has enjoyed success in his career against Crochet, collecting two hits in six career at-bats.
The former World Series champion has also crushed left-handed pitching this season, hitting .291.
The veteran is well-positioned to continue his success in this matchup tonight.
