Best Bet for Friday (July 5th): MLB Predictions - the best play to put your money on for July 5th from the Sports Gambling Podcast Network.We’re on to day four of filling in for the usual writer of this column, Jeff Fox, and we admittedly got too cute last night. The Tigers won as expected, but couldn’t cover the runline for us. We’re back on the ball field again in this one and played this one a bit safer. I’ve cooked up a best bet for Friday July 5th for us. Come check out this MLB prediction and let’s win some money.

Best Bet For Friday (July 5th): MLB Predictions

Boston Red Sox vs Washington Nationals

Start Time: 4:05 PM EST

The Red Sox have been a little hard to trust on the moneyline over the last week. They have posted a 4-2 record, but they have lost some games that they really should have won. The one thing you can trust from them though, is that they’re going to score some runs. Over the last six games they’ve played, they’ve averaged 8.5 runs per game.

To make the over look even juicier, we have Walker Buehler on the bump for the Fenway faithful. In his last three starts, he’s allowed 17 earned runs in just 11.1 innings. That comes out to a 13.50 ERA in that span.

I’d likely take the over in this Red Sox game regardless as to who they are playing. However, it is worth noting that the Nationals have also put up some runs lately. In their last three games, they’ve put up 22 runs (7.3 per game). They also don’t have the best look on the mound with Mitchell Parker getting the ball with his 4.63 ERA.

Best Bet: Over 10.5 Runs (+105)

Best Bet Overall Record: 247-221 (53%)
Profit (based on $100/bet): -($717.53)
Return on Investment: -1%
