Red Sox vs Angels Prediction
The current betting odds have the Red Sox listed as a favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Red Sox have looked good in their games this season with their 40-39 record overall, but that record has them near the bottom of the AL East in a competitive division. They haven't been a great road team either with their 18-22 road record this season. Meanwhile, the Angels haven't looked great in their games this season with their 37-40 record overall which has them right near the bottom of the AL West. They haven't looked good in their own ballpark either with their 16-18 home record this year. The Angels haven't looked that good lately as they are 4-6 in their last 10 games while the Red Sox have been getting hot now, going 7-3 in their last 10 games, and they can take advantage of this pitching matchup too. Crochet is on the mound for the Red Sox in this one and he has looked great all season. He is 7-4 with a 2.20 ERA and has pretty much been their ace all year. He only gave up 1 earned run in his last start which has been a common theme for him and the team has had a ton of success with him starting, winning 4 games in a row now with him on the mound. Anderson is on the mound for the Angels and he hasn't looked great this year. He is 2-5 with a 4.56 ERA and lately he has been giving up more runs in his starts. He gave up 4 earned runs in his last start too and even the team has lost 3 games in a row with him starting. The Red Sox are rolling right now and they have the better pitching matchup here. The best way to place a bet here is on the Red Sox to win this game.
