The Los Angeles Dodgers look to complete a three-game home sweep of the Boston Red Sox on Sunday Night Baseball following another comeback victory, and we have you covered with our best Red Sox vs. Dodgers player props based on the best sports betting sites.
We're treated to another showdown between two of the most historic teams in baseball this season, as we offer our Red Sox vs. Dodgers prediction for Sunday.
The Red Sox entered Sunday's contest with a 31-19 record since May 19, the best in baseball in that span. However, Los Angeles won the first two games of this series in dramatic fashion, with a grand slam in the eighth inning propelling it to a 4-1 victory on Friday, and two late comebacks Sunday in the ninth and 10th innings to steal a 7-6 victory.
After being -140 moneyline favorites at Betway the last two days, the Dodgers are now -120 moneyline favorites, with first pitch from Dodger Stadium scheduled for 7:00 p.m. ET on Sunday night.

Red Sox vs. Dodgers expert picks
Red Sox starting pitchers have gone at least six innings in seven consecutive games, and if Kutter Crawford records at least 18 outs Sunday, it would match the team's longest streak of six-inning starts since 2018.
If anyone is built to navigate a tough Dodgers lineup, it's Crawford, whose 2.35 road ERA in nine starts is the fourth-best in baseball. He will look to continue Boston's outstanding play on Sundays, as the team has won 15 of its 16 Sunday games, with the only loss coming in extra innings to the Detroit Tigers on June 2.
The fact that the Under on L.A.'s team total of 4.5 runs is juiced to -135 suggests that Crawford is in line for a solid start and should be able to navigate six innings, as the 60% implied probability for this wager suggests.
Thus, we are willing to back him as a four-star play at this price, with a winning $10 wager paying out $16.67.
Best odds: -150 via Betway | Implied probability: 60.00%

Paxton has a career 3.41 ERA against his former team and will look to navigate a lineup that ranks in the top 11 of the league in runs per game, hits per game, and all three slash line categories (batting average, on-base percentage, slugging).
Boston has struggled against southpaws compared to right-handed pitching, going just 12-16 in games started by left-handed pitchers, and 41-28 against righties.
In Boston's 31-20 stretch since May 19, it still ranks 14th or worse in on-base percentage, OPS, and wRC+ against left-handed pitchers in road games. Meanwhile, Paxton hasn't allowed more than three earned runs in any home start this season and has allowed two or fewer in four of the six.
Thus, the 52.38% implied probability is more than fair, and we are willing to back the -110 odds, which would pay out a profit of $9.09 for every $10 wagered.
Best odds: -110 via Betway | Implied probability: 52.38%
Perhaps we are buying a little too high on Red Sox slugger Tyler O'Neill, who is coming off a two-home run performance and drove in four or more runs for the fifth time in his career.
However, we are enticed by his +135 odds to produce at least one RBI on Sunday, which carries a 42.55% implied probability, especially in comparison to the Over on his 1.5 total bases prop which has +120 odds.
O'Neill snapped a four-game RBI-less streak with Saturday's performance, and he has five hits in nine at-bats in this series. Though he has an RBI in just three of 12 July games, he's slashing .306/.382/.469 this month, which means positive regression from a run-producing standpoint is likely to come.
Even if O'Neill doesn't drive in a run against Paxton, he should find opportunities to do so against a Dodgers bullpen that ranks 23rd in FIP and xFIP.
A winning $10 wager at +135 odds pays out $23.50.
Best odds: +135 via Betway | Implied probability: 42.55%
