Why is the Red Sox vs Athletics series tied?
The Oakland Athletics host the Boston Red Sox for a four-game series, which started on July 27 with us at PayPerHead. This will be the third game, with the teams splitting the results of the first two.
Even though the Athletics are struggling near the bottom of the American League (45-62), they’re making this an interesting series. Boston is near the top of the AL (55-51).
How did Boston’s 15-game winning streak shape their season?
Boston has been on a good run lately, winning 7 of its last 10 games.

Their run started July 3, when they beat the LA Angels, and continued winning, sweeping the Angels three games, then three games against the Chicago White Sox, three games against the New York Mets, and then four games against the Tampa Bay Rays. They took two wins from Baltimore before losing to them 5-1 on July 23. That’s a 15-game winning streak (tying a franchise record).
How has Oakland performed in July?
The Athletics have been going in the opposite direction. They’ve kept things fairly even the last 10 games by winning four, but some of those games are wild. Two losses gave up double-digit runs, and a 15-1 win against Washington.

What is the prediction for Red Sox vs Athletics on July 29?
Boston’s Patrick Sandoval is the expected pitcher going up against Jacob Lopez of Oakland. Sandoval’s overall stats are 0-0, 3.21 ERA, while Lopez’s are 5-4, 6.12 ERA.
Boston’s better pitcher and bullpen tilt the outcome in their favor. Oakland has injuries that will hurt their chances even more, but they were able to break Boston’s 10-game road win streak last night, which could give them confidence to do it again.
Our Red Sox vs Athletics prediction is another close game, but this win goes to Boston, 5-3.
