Red Sox vs Angels Prediction
The Angels aren’t a team I’m ever interested in backing, and while Detmers has been solid this season through 162 innings, it doesn’t change here. The Red Sox continue to win games and are closing in on a playoff spot, and they need to take full advantage of games like this. The Angels stink. Sandoval has had his struggles through 49 innings this season. The price is reasonable. I have to roll with the Red Sox on Tuesday night.
