A's vs. Red Sox Betting Preview August 9

The Red Sox have pulled off a number of comeback wins of late.  But that wasn't to happen Saturday.  

They loaded the bases against Athletics reliever Hogan Harris after scoring a run, but Ian White lined out solidly to center field to end their bid for a second win streak of at least 10 games in the same season for the first in team history with a 7-3 loss on Saturday afternoon at Fenway Park.

“That we might actually win the game the way it’s gone,” interim manager Chad Tracy said, when asked what he was thinking with the potential tying run at the plate.

“It was a great effort to get the tying run to plate and give ourselves a shot, which was awesome,” Tracy said of the rally that started with two outs and a runner on second.

Boston area bookies are certainly sweating these days.  But it's also a catch 22.  Obviously more folks from the region are betting these days as the Red Sox have become the hot topic of sports.

Bookies and agents need to be strategic in their approach when utilizing a Pay Per Head platform.  Get those Red Sox gamblers betting more than whether their beloved team will win.  Push them towards player prop bets and more.
