Free Pick Monday: #919 Boston Red Sox (Pivetta) +140 over Tampa Bay Rays (Beeks) 5:40 PM CT

Tampa Bay has turned in an incredible 9-0 start to the season outscoring foes 75-18. There has been a huge adjustment in the AL East futures pricing with the Rays off to a commanding start but the Tigers, Nationals, and Athletics could well be the worst three teams in MLB this season. Tampa Bay will face a much more serious test in its first division series hosting Boston this week. Fading the Rays with Shane McClanahan of Jeffrey Springs won’t be of interest right now, but Jalen Beeks is unproven as a starter with only 11 career starts. He will be in an opening role Monday with Josh Fleming likely to see multiple innings to follow. Fleming has a career ERA of 5.10 at the MLB level and allowed 10 hits vs. Washington in his 2023 debut. Boston is batting .311 with 9.4 runs per nine vs. left-handers this season as this could be a very favorable matchup for a Red Sox lineup that is #2 in scoring right now across MLB, #3 in OPS, and #2 in lowest strikeout rate. Nick Pivetta was sharp despite taking a loss last week and Boston should be considered a significant threat Monday at a price that would not have been expected in this pairing even a few days ago. It may not make sense to try to beat the Rays for their first loss at more than a free pick level, but the price is right to consider Boston for a token piece of action Monday with an inflated figure in Tampa Bay’s least formidable turn in the rotation.
