The Boston Red Sox just finished up a historic July for them by going an unreal 21-4. The next closest-team won 15 games last month, so while Curtis Mead got hurt immediately after they acquired him from the Washington Nationals, Boston fans can’t be too upset. Well, the star-studded Los Angeles Dodgers made the biggest of acquisitions themselves - the Dodgers traded for Tarik Skubal last night! He won’t be on the mound tonight, but we’ve still got you covered with our best Red Sox vs. Dodgers predictions for Sunday Night Baseball!

Since we also know that fans in LA can’t enjoy legal sports betting, we’ve gone beyond top Red Sox vs. Dodgers picks by also sharing today’s GUARANTEED Kalshi prediction market promo code bonus (see terms here: kalshi.com/tc/500)!

🔥 Red Sox vs. Dodgers Predictions for MLB Sunday Night Baseball, 8/2

When it comes to the Red Sox hot July, it went beyond just weather primarily due to their pitching staff. That’s why they went out to get Curtis Mead by trading an injured Connelly Early, but again, the former Nat got plunked in the hand. So, with the righty being out for 6-8 weeks, he won’t be part of any Red Sox vs. Dodgers predictions.

Since we’ve already noted a team other than the ones featured on Sunday Night Baseball, we’ll also point out our MLB expert picks so that you can check in with that every single day for picks on far more games than just these predictions articles. Of course, we still want to highlight the nationally-televised matchup.

While Yoshinobu Yamamoto was featured in LA last night and Tarik Skubal won’t be making his team debut tonight, we still have an interesting starter to monitor with Boston rookie Jake Bennett. He looks to have a bright future with the team, but is that enough when facing the World Series favorites? Let’s dive into the best bet from our top Red Sox vs. Dodgers predictions for tonight to find out!

 

 

 

🏅 Red Sox vs. Dodgers Best Bet: Emmet Sheehan Over 5.5 K’s (Use Kalshi To Make Picks On Anything)

Jake Bennett has come through with some K props for us in the past, but we’re actually going to go against the grain tonight with the LA starter. We say that because Emmet Sheehan’s raw numbers don’t look promising, but he’s been one of the unluckiest starters this season. So, he headlines our Red Sox vs. Dodgers predictions.

Despite having a 4.95 ERA, he’s got a 90th percentile chase rate of 35.1%. So, while the Red Sox have been red hot and aren’t the best lineup strikeout-wise, Sheehan really does have the stuff to get the job done. That impressive chase rate has led to a 30.4% whiff rate, which can take advantage of just about any lineup.

Sheehan has also proven that he can be matchup-proof when his stuff is on. The Arizona Diamondbacks are one of the most difficult teams to ring up, and he had seven K’s against them just before the All-Star break. He had five or more strikeouts in all four July starts and we just need one more to cash the best bet from our Red Sox vs. Dodgers predictions for tonight on Emmet Sheehan over 5.5 K’s (submit a trade with Kalshi prediction market).
