Red Sox vs. Athletics Prediction, Odds, Probable Pitchers, Prop Bets for Monday, July 27

In this story:
The Athletics return home for a four-game set against the Boston Red Sox starting on Monday night.
The A’s won their series openers in Arizona and Minnesota before dropping the final two games of each of those sets. They got even worse news over the weekend with Shea Langeliers landing on the injured list with what could very well be a season-ending knee injury.
The Red Sox saw their historic winning streak end last week in their series finale against the Orioles, then they took two of three against the Blue Jays.
Here are the odds, probable pitchers, and predictions for Red Sox vs. Athletics on Monday, July 27.

Red Sox vs. Athletics Prediction and Pick
The Red Sox have been the best team in baseball over the last few weeks, and the A’s, well, they’ve been on the opposite end of things.
The A’s are just 13-24 vs. LHP (31-37 vs. RHP) on the season, and they’re even worse at home (20-30) than on the road (24-31).
Give me Boston to win in blowout fashion tonight in Sacramento.
Pick: Red Sox -1.5 (-116)
