Red Sox vs Angels Prediction
Boston comes into this matchup looking to snap their four game losing streak and they are trying to get their first home win of the season. Los Angeles is above .500 so far this year, but they have a very elevated team ERA. Boston is starting Cooper Criswell, who hasn’t pitched for the Sox this season. LA is going with Griffin Canning, who has allowed nine earned runs over 9.2 innings against Boston and Baltimore. I don’t love this pitching matchup for either team, but I do think the Red Sox are due and they had success against Canning in their first matchup. Take Boston here.
