The Red Sox are the better team here and should be favored, but this is a quick turnaround after playing extra innings last night. The Marlins are due for something positive after a rough week and Pablo Lopez has been highly impressive this season. We’re getting a quality starter and decent plus money. I’ll take a shot with the Marlins here.
