The Boston Red Sox have struggled in a big way to begin the season, going 2-7 through their first nine games. Things won’t get any easier for them tonight when they start a three-game interleague series against the Milwaukee Brewers.<\/p>\n
Let’s dive into the odds and my best bets for tonight’s series opener.<\/p>\n

The Red Sox have struck out on 27.8% of their at-bats this season, the fifth-highest rate in baseball. Now, they face Brandon Woodruff, who averaged a blistering 11.6 strikeouts per nine innings last season. Let’s bet on him to reach at least seven strikeouts in Boston tonight.<\/p>\n Brewers vs. Red Sox Prediction and Pick<\/p>\n In today’s edition of Walk-Off Wagers<\/a>, I broke down why I’m betting on the Brewers as slight road favorites:<\/p>\n The Brewers’ offense has been red-hot to start the season. They’re third in the Majors in both OPS and wRC+, and now they get to face a Red Sox offense that has been slow to start the year, including ranking just 20th in wRC+, with a batting average of just .226.<\/p>\n Brayan Bello gets the start for the Red Sox tonight, and I think we’re going to see some regression from him this season. He had a solid 3.35 ERA last season, but a 4.19 FIP and a 1.236 WHIP show that he may not have pitched as well as his ERA indicated. His first start of the season supported that claim as he allowed eight hits, three walks, and five earned runs.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Brandon Woodruff gets the start for tonight, coming off a year where he had a 3.20 ERA, and he allowed only two earned runs in 5.0 innings pitched in his first start of 2026.<\/p>\n Pick: Brewers -116 via FanDuel<\/a><\/p>\n Create a new FanDuel Sportsbook account, and you can get $300 in bonus bets back on losing bets every day for 10 days.<\/a> Download the FanDuel app and deposit a minimum of $5 to claim your FanDuel promo code <\/a>offer today.<\/p>\n Follow Iain on X<\/a> and Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n Odds refresh periodically and are subject to change.<\/p>\n If you or someone you know has a gambling problem and wants help, call 1-800-GAMBLER.<\/p>\n You can check out all of\u00a0Iain’s bets here<\/a>!<\/p>\n
