MLB Picks | Red Sox and Astros racking up runs in ALCS

‍

The time has come to accept that which we cannot change in the world. Here, now, in the post-2004 universe, the Boston Red Sox having postseason success is simply an inevitability, 

‍

Maybe that was a touch too zen of an intro, but the spirit remains the same: It doesn’t seem to matter what the records or rosters are,the modern Boston Red Sox are a team that finds a way to win in the playoffs, best laid plans or logic be damned. 

After a grand-slam friendly Game 2, expect more offene on Monday night. No team hit lefties better than the Houston Astros this season, and no team hit better against righties than the Red Sox. With those exact matchups on the way in Game 3,  we’re banking on another boatload of runs to cross the plate in this one.

Embrace the nihilism in Fenway Park, take the Red Sox -120, and over 9.0 runs, -115.
