The Athletics roll into Fenway tonight sitting well under .500 at 45-70, while the Red Sox are quietly building a solid year at 62-51 and pushing for playoff position. No line's posted yet, but Boston should be a heavy favorite at home with the heart of their order clicking.

Watch for the A's bullpen to get exposed late if their starter can't work deep into the game. Bold prediction: Red Sox starter goes seven strong, Boston tacks on a couple late, and this one doesn't stay close past the sixth.
