The skid may just continue, as they face a Boston team looking to bounce back themselves and escape the doormat of the AL East. The Red Sox are just five back of the final wildcard spot with a good amount of division games remaining, if there’s going to be a turnaround it has to start with their series at home with their fiercest rival.
Both teams have endured their struggles, but look for Boston to come out strong here with their ace on the bump. Take Boston’s moneyline tonight.
