Expert picks & predictions for tonight’s game between the Rays and the Red Sox
Rotoworld Best Bet Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes some sprinkles on Roman Anthony to homer (+600) and steal a base (+950):
“Roman Anthony, MLB’s No. 1 prospect, earned his first official hit yesterday on a double (2 RBI), a day after making his debut and hitting a RBI fielders choice in the bottom of the 9th to help the Sox’s get to extras.
Anthony has brought in three runs through two games and should feel confident coming off the win, so for a few bucks, I think the value on him hitting a homer (+600) and stealing a base (+950) are worth spromarinkling before the Yankees come to town.”
