White Sox vs Red Sox MLB Betting Preview, Prediction
Red Sox shortstop Andruw Monasterio is priced at DraftKings at +522, implying a 16% chance to hit a double tonight at Fenway Park.
However, Action PRO projects him with 0.29 doubles against the White Sox, or a fair price closer to +245.
This gives us a solid 9.1% edge against the market when compared to his current prop line of over/under 0.5, which is good enough to tag the over with a B- grade in our system.
Monasterio already has a career-high 19 doubles this season, and hit eight of them in July.
That wasn't only his best month in this department but all-around, as he averaged .338 and had a .631 slugging percentage and a 1.044 OPS.
His red-hot streak continues, as he has .364, .455 and .871 in August so far.
At a great value, let's back him today to get another double against Chicago.
Pick: Andruw Monasterio 1+ Doubles (+522, DraftKings)
