Boston Red Sox vs. Los Angeles Angels Prediction
I’m on the Red Sox here. I just think that Sonny Gray is the far better starting option here as he has been one of the most profitable pitchers in all of baseball so far this season. On the other side, the Angels sending out Sam Aldegheri doesn’t really move the needle for me all that much and I think Boston ends up taking care of business here. Give me Boston.
