Porcello lost his first start as a Red Sox, allowing three earned runs on a homer over six innings in a 4-2 loss at Philadelphia on April 8. But he should have a strong outing in tonight\u2019s game should Washington continue to struggle at the plate. After six games, the Nationals are tied with Minnesota for the least runs scored (13) this early in the season.<\/p>\n<p>Taking the ball for Washington is Jordan Zimmerman. He is the lone Nationals starter with a win thus far this season. Zimmerman has allowed four earned runs on 12 hits over 14 innings against Boston in his career. But he may be in for a rough outing this time around. Boston\u2019s new acquisitions, Hanley Ramirez and Pablo Sandoval, have hit .400 and .462 in their respective careers against the Washington starter.<\/p>\n<p>The Red Sox have won four of their last five games.<\/p>\n<h3>Writer\u2019s Prediction<\/h3>\n<p>Ramirez and Sandoval flex their muscle in a dominant Red Sox (<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/mlb\" target=\"_blank\">-116<\/a><\/strong>) win.<\/p>\n<h3>Chicago Bulls vs. Brooklyn Nets (7:30 PM ET)<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Line:<\/strong> Chicago Bulls at Brooklyn Nets \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/nba\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>view these lines<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Derrick Rose is back. Judging by his 22-point explosion against Philadelphia, the\u00a0Chicago star should be up and ready just in time for the playoffs. An on-point and aggressive Rose should give Brooklyn headaches. He\u2019s averaged 18.5 points in Chicago\u2019s first two meetings against the Nets, both wins. He was limited to just four points in a 96-82 home loss to Brooklyn on December 30.<\/p>\n<p>But the Nets aren\u2019t looking playoff ready just about now. They were a mess at Milwaukee on Sunday, shooting 32.5 percent from the field in a 96-73 loss. Starting point guard Deron Williams scored four points on 1-of-11 shooting. He\u2019s shooting 26 percent in the season series against Chicago. Brook Lopez is due for a big game though. He led Brooklyn with 29 points at Chicago on December 30.<\/p>\n<p>The Nets are 4-1 ATS in their last five home games.<\/p>\n<h3>Writer\u2019s Prediction<\/h3>\n<p>Brooklyn\u2019s struggles continue as the Bulls win and cover. <a title=\"Join Top Bet Sportsbook\" href=\"http:\/\/record.tbaffiliate.com\/_y8k7RB3Ll4xutv7iXV6HvmNd7ZgqdRLk\/6\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"broken_link\" rel=\"nofollow\">Create a betting account now<\/a> and get in on the day\u2019s hottest action.<\/p>\n[sc:NBA490banner ]\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"pvc_stats all \" data-element-id=\"57405\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> &nbsp;1,829&nbsp;total views, &nbsp;1&nbsp;views today<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Monday is a big day for ball games.
