Rockies vs Red Sox Preview, Picks
Fenway Park is traditionally a hitter-friendly stadium, but when wind blows inward, it significantly suppresses offensive output, particularly fly balls that would otherwise clear the Green Monster or drop in for extra-base hits.
When betting the under in games played at Fenway with inward wind conditions, both regular and postseason data show that totals are often set too high relative to actual outcomes, which appears to be the case in today’s matchup between the Rockies and Red Sox.
This creates a profitable contrarian angle, taking advantage of a weather-based edge that is not always fully baked into the market.
