Analyst Backs Red Sox First 5 Innings at -125 as Suarez Faces Falter Mismatch

7 articles · Updated · Fox News · May 19

Boston is the recommended play through five innings at -125, with the pick centered on starter Ranger Suarez against Kansas City’s Bailey Falter.
Suarez has a 2.44 ERA and 0.95 WHIP, has not allowed a run in his last 17.1 innings, and has given up four earned runs over 18.1 road innings.
Falter has thrown only 5.1 innings this season, allowing six earned runs, and over seven appearances since last year has surrendered 21 earned runs in 17.1 innings.
That pitching gap outweighs the teams’ otherwise middling form: Boston is 20-27 after firing Alex Cora, while Kansas City sits 6.5 games back in a jumbled AL Central.

Can Ranger Suarez continue his historic scoreless streak when his own offense consistently fails to support him?

With elite pitching but no offense, is Boston's controversial 'dynasty rebuild' strategy actually working?
