Trends
Los Angeles is 4-1 in their last 5 road games and 7-23 in their last 30 games against the AL East while the over is 6-2 in their last 8 road games against a team with a right-handed starter. Boston is 9-4 in their last 13 home games and 1-4 in their last 5 games overall while the over is 10-4 in their last 14 games overall.
Pick
I’m sticking with the over here. I just don’t trust this pitching matchup at all, as both pitchers have been prone to giving up a lot of hard contact and these are two teams that can flat out slug in a hitter’s park at Fenway. Give me the over.
