MLB Betting Odds: Red Sox at Indians Game 5
By Eric Williams
The Boston Red Sox head back to ‘Beantown’ trailing the Cleveland Indians 3-2 in the teams’ ALCS matchup after beating the Indians (as predicted) 7-4 in Game 4.
Tonight’s matchup features each team’s No. 2 starter, Boston ace, Curt Schilling and Cleveland phenom, Fausto Carmona. Each hurler had an absolutely fine season, Carmona in particular.
Here is a look at tonight’s key trends followed by my Free Baseball Betting Pick:
