This is a pretty good pitching matchup out of this Red Sox vs. Rays betting analysis. We project both Houck and Bradley to have pretty good starts. The problem will be the bullpen. We like Tampa Bay to score a couple late runs at home off the Red Sox and win this game. We actually will take the OVER for the late runs as well. Take the Rays to win this game 5-4 over the Red Sox. Bet on the Tampa Bay Rays -110 over the Boston Red Sox on Monday!
