FIRST FIVE #967 3% Boston w/ Crawford -105 Pittsburgh

Boston is a full game dog and a pick for the F5 and I make them a 145 favorite.

We have the better starter and an offense that is better than a foe that is really struggling at the plate.

Boston won the series opener 8-1 and while they are still only batting .235 the L7 games it is far better than a Pirates squad that has 17 hits the L4 games with no HR’s and is batting .165 the L6 games. Boston is 8-3 on the road this season and is 7-1 their L78 games winning by 4.86 runs per game. 
Crawford with an amazing start to the season throwing 15 1/3 innings allowing SIX hits and he's allowed ONE run which was in his first start.
