Sunday Night Baseball brings us to historic Fenway Park in Boston this week, and we have some gorgeous weather on tap. Left-hander Connelly Early will start for the Red Sox, while Nathan Eovaldi, who was an All-Star and World Series champion with the Red Sox, is scheduled to start for Texas. The Rangers are looking to avoid the sweep in Boston after winning a series against the Royals earlier this week. This is the final game of a week-long road trip for the Rangers, so fatigue could play a factor tonight.
First pitch for Sunday Night Baseball is set for 7:20 p.m. ET. The latest Rangers vs. Red Sox odds list Boston as the -118 money-line favorite (risk $118 to win $100), while Texas is a -102 underdog (risk $102 to win $100) and the Over/Under for total runs is 9 (Over -115, Under -105).

Here's a look at his best same-game parlay for Rangers vs. Red Sox on Sunday Night Baseball.
Rangers vs. Red Sox same-game parlay
- Red Sox +1.5
- Boston P Connelly Early 5 Ks
Same-game parlay odds: +108 at Caesars
Nathan Eovaldi has struggled lately, allowing four or more earned runs in three straight starts with more than 40% hard contact and a rough-looking 15% barrel rate. He's allowed four home runs across his last three starts, and the weather tonight looks to be giving a bump up to hitters, as it's expected to be nearly 90 degrees with winds blowing out to left field at 10+ mph.
Pitching in a night game during this type of heat is a benefit to pitchers, where they get to avoid the hottest part of the day, but it will still be hot and humid enough to give hitters the advantage and help push fly balls farther. Keeping the ball on the ground will be key for all pitchers tonight, and Eovaldi has been able to do that well. The issues arise when getting hit hard and barreled up on balls in the air, so he'll have to avoid that to be successful tonight.
With a career ERA nearing five against the Red Sox, and trending in the wrong direction, I'm siding with Boston to keep it close and win or lose by just one run, playing the +1.5 tonight.
Connelly Early 5+ Ks
The Rangers have been improving against left-handed pitching, but on the season they've got a strikeout rate above 26%, and the last two lefties they've faced have both gone for seven strikeouts. The alternate strikeout total of five here for Connelly Early is priced near -300, but we're getting the parlay to +108, which is showing some value.
Early has been solid pretty much all season, and since the middle of May he's really turned it on, pitching to expected stats that point to him being a candidate for a mid-3's ERA while producing a bunch of quality starts in that time. He's shown improvement in some of his strikeout metrics, too, and has hit 5+ strikeouts in six-straight starts.
With the value we're getting on Caesars, as this price is -110 or worse on other major books, I'm putting at least a half-unit down on this one tonight. Another way to play this would be with an alternate total of 10 and taking the Under, along with the five strikeouts for Early, which would get you to -102 odds on Caesars.
In the end, the weather should help hitters, but I think Eovaldi can keep the ball on the ground enough and Early will pitch around any trouble to where we get a lower-scoring affair.
