Los Angeles Angels at Boston Red Sox
When: Tuesday, June 26, 7:10 p.m. ET
Where: Fenway Park, Boston, Massachusetts
Betting Line / Total: Boston -200 / 10 Runs
Boston Red Sox
The Red Sox haven’t hit many road blocks this season, dominating their opponents to the tune of a 52-27 record to this point. Boston had a small slump earlier this month when it went 1-4 coming off a four-game winning streak, but the team ended last week with a 3-1 record and a series win against the Seattle Mariners.
With just under half of the 2018 regular season in the books, the Red Sox rank third in the MLB in run production with 5.11 runs per game and sixth in Team ERA at 3.52.
David Price has been outstanding over his last eight starts, lowering his season ERA from 5.11 down to 3.81. The Red Sox are 7-1 over those eight starts.
Los Angeles Angels
Mike Trout has been limited to DH duties over his last five games since injuring his finger against Arizona last week. Trout has gone just 3-for-15 while dealing with this injury as the Angels have dropped three straight games.
At 41-38 on the season, Los Angeles can’t afford to fall too much farther behind Seattle in the standings, especially with only one of the American League Wild Card spots likely available behind the AL East division’s runner-up.
Tuesday night’s total is set at 10 runs. The OVER is 5-1 in the last six games between Boston and Los Angeles according to the OddsShark MLB Database.
With staff ace Shohei Ohtani on the disabled list, the Angels pitching staff could have its hands full with this high powered Red Sox offense. Wednesday’s pitching matchup is projected as Andrew Heaney vs. Rick Porcello, and the series comes to a close on Thursday with Jaime Barria vs. Steven Wright.
