The Boston Red Sox and the Los Angeles Angels meet in MLB action from Angel Stadium on Monday. Let’s dive into the odds, starting pitching matchup, history and make a prediction for this game.

Odds

Los Angeles is a -115 home favorite while Boston is a -105 road underdog. The total for this game is set at 9.5 runs.

Starting Pitching Matchup

Tanner Houck will start for the Red Sox and is 3-3 with a 5.48 ERA and 38 strikeouts this season. Jaime Barria will start for the Angels and is 1-1 with a 1.96 ERA and 21 strikeouts this season.

Matchup History

Los Angeles’ 5-4 win back on April 17th, 2023, snapped Boston’s three-game win streak in this head-to-head matchup.

Trends

Boston is 5-2 in their last 7 road games and 36-16 in their last 52 games against the AL West while the over is 4-1-1 in their last 6 series-opening games. Los Angeles is 2-5 in their last 7 home games and 1-5 in their last 6 games following a win while the under is 4-1 in their last 5 home games.

Pick

I’m backing the Red Sox here. I wasn’t the biggest fan of this pitching matchup, but Houck has actually pitched fairly well on the road, while Barria is a bullpen arm making a spot start and from what I remember with Barria, he didn’t fare overly well in those starts. The Red Sox still have a potent offense that’s fully capable of doing damage, and I think they take it to the Angels and their pitching staff here. Wouldn’t surprise me if we had a high-scoring game, but I’ll take the Red Sox for the win.
