LAA Angels vs. Boston Red Sox

A gift. This is an absolute gift. The public infatuation with Josh Beckett and the Red Sox makes this one of the great plays of the year. The Angels will be gunning for a sweep of the Red Sox and at the same time looking for their eighth straight win over Boston. They’ll send 13-game winner Joe Saunders to the mound as a HUGE underdog. What am I missing? The Angels are the best team in baseball, they just added Mark Texiara and they’re +160? I’m all over this.

The Angels are 66-40 and lead the AL West by 11 1/2 games over Texas. Los Halos have outscored Boston 52-31 overall and won its last four at Fenway Park, where it hasn’t swept a three-game series since July 31-Aug. 2, 2001. Anaheim has also won 11 of its last 13 overall. Saunders won at Fenway on April 24, when he gave up three runs in six innings. He didn’t get a decision against the Red Sox on July 19 at home after yielding two runs in 6 2-3 innings. However he is 3-0 with a 2.87 ERA in five lifetime starts against Boston. Beckett matched up with Saunders and lost to the Angels on July 19 after giving up four runs in eight innings. The Angels have the best road record in the majors at 34-19. Look for them to make it 35 victories away from the “Big A” as they record a historic sweep at Fenway.
