Preview
The Los Angeles Angels and the Boston Red Sox will play the 3rd game of the series at the Los Angeles-Alameda County Coliseum. The Red Sox beat the Angels again 6-5 in extra innings to take the lead 2-0 on the series. The Angels have now lost 13 straight games the longest losing streak in franchise history.
Boston Red Sox
The Red Sox get to this game with a 29-27 record and have won their last 6 games. The team is averaging 4.85 runs and allowing 4.19 runs per game. Rafael Devers is leading the team with 12 home runs and 31 RBI while JD Martinez is batting for .353 AVG.
Nick Pivetta leads the team with 5 wins recorded with a 3.50 ERA and 58 strikeouts.
Probable Pitcher:
Nathan Eovaldi (3-2, 3.41 ERA) will take the mound in the 3rd game of the series for the Red Sox. Eovaldi allowed 4 hits and 1 walk with 6 strikeouts across 6 innings pitched and earned the win during Friday's 7-2 victory over the A's. He got pounded in his last 2 starts against the Angels last season allowing 9 runs in 10.2 innings.
Los Angeles Angels
The Angels have lost 13 games in a row and are 27-30 so far this season. They are averaging 4.44 runs per game while allowing 4.20 runs. Mike Trout leads the team with a .274 avg, 13 home runs and 28 RBI. Jared Walsh has 10 Home runs and 33 RBI.
Michael Lorenzen leads the pitching staff with a 3.69 ERA, 40 strikeouts and 5 wins recorded.
Probable Pitcher:
Reid Detmers (2-2, 4.20 ERA) will be on the mound for the Angels in the 3rd game of the series. Detmers tossed 4.1 scoreless innings, allowing 5 hits and striking out 4 against the Yankees last Thursday. He did not factor into the decision. He already faced the Red Sox earlier this season and allowed 3 runs in 4.2 innings.
BETTING TRENDS
Boston are 5-0 SU in their last 5 games on the road.
Boston are 8-3 SU in their last 11 games when playing on the road against LA Angels.
LA Angels are 0-13 SU in their last 13 games.
LA Angels are 0-7 SU in their last 7 games at home.
Prediction
The Angels lost again and are now on an 13 game losing streak and have lost their last 7 games at home. They'll face Eovaldi who allowed 5 and 4 runs in his last 2 starts against them. The Red Sox are on a 6 game winning streak and have won their last 5 games on the road. Even with the Angels having pounded Eovaldi before I can't trust them right now so I think the best play is the over.
PICK: Over 8.5 (-110)
