MLB Predictions Oakland Athletics vs Boston Red Sox MLB Odds: Nomar Garciaparra returns to Boston for the first time since 2004 when he was traded and the Red Sox went on to win the World Series. I expect Nomar to be greeted with open arms as he is still well liked in the area. In return I expect plenty of runs in this game as the A's will be motivated to try and win one for Nomar.

Active Image"I think we feel like we need this roster spot for about a week," Red Sox manager Terry Francona told his team's official Web site. "Rather than go make a move, I think we all kind of enjoy promoting from within. ... Hopefully this kid will help us win a couple of games."

John Smoltz has been hittable in his few starts for the Red Sox and the bullpen has struggled in Boston. The pens ERA is over 6 in its last three outings and the over has cashed in five out of the last six games. Ortiz is starting to hit again for the sox and the A's start a lefty in Brett Anderson. The Sox hit lefties at .282 at home this year and Anderson has seen the over cash in three of his last four starts. Nomar will have a great night at the plate and don't be surprised if the A's win. It will be a high scoring affair in Boston. MLB Predictions Bet On the over 9.5 . The MLB Odds list the total in this Oakland Athletics vs Boston Red Sox game is set at 9 runs.
