Sports betting enthusiasts will be backing the Boston Red Sox to secure another victory against the Houston Astros tonight (July 1st).The 2007 World Series champions were impressive in their last outing in Philadelphia, beating the National League East Division leaders the Phillies 5-2 in their own ballpark.Key to the performance was pitcher Jack Lester, who gave up just two hits and struck out five in seven strong innings.Team manager Terry Francona said of his pitcher: “They made him work pretty consistently every inning to 16, 19 [pitches], so they ran his pitch count up a little bit.”But he got into the seventh and made big pitches to end that inning, so that was really good. We needed to find a way to win that game.”He was backed up by two home runs from Jason Varitek, along with one from Dustin Pedroia.The result was a welcome one for the Sox, who have surprised sports betting fans by going through something of a slump in recent weeks.However, Boston will be favourites in the sports betting when facing off against Houston, who hold the Major Leagues worst record with a win percentage of just .354.The Astros home record is particularly poor, with a record of just 14-30.
