Angels @ Red Sox

Who will WIN this matchup?

Los Angeles Angels (16-21)

@ Boston Red Sox (24-16)

 

Starting Pitchers:

Bundy (LAA): 0-4; 5.03 ERA

Perez (BOS) 0-2; 4.01 ERA

 

Current odds:

Los Angeles Angels: (-120)

Boston Red Sox: (+100)

 

• Los Angeles Angels (16-21, fifth in the AL West) vs. Boston Red Sox (24-16, first in the AL East)

• PITCHING PROBABLES: Angels: Dylan Bundy (0-4, 5.03 ERA, 1.14 WHIP, 43 strikeouts)

Dylan Bundy is winless in his seven starts this season. The right-hander was removed in the fourth inning of his previous start after the Dodgers scored six earned runs on five hits. Bundy has pitched six or more innings in five of his starts.
Red Sox: Martin Perez (0-2, 4.01 ERA, 1.40 WHIP, 32 strikeouts)
Pérez has turned it around his last three starts, posting a 2.20 ERA, but he has no luck — or wins — to show for it. The lefty has made 10 starts at Fenway since joining the Red Sox and still seeks his first home win for Boston.

• BOTTOM LINE: Los Angeles enters the game as losers of their last three games.

The Red Sox are 12-11 on their home turf. Boston’s team on-base percentage of .323 is third in the American League. J.D. Martinez leads the club with an OBP of .415.

The Angels have gone 8-12 away from home. Los Angeles ranks fifth in the MLB in hitting with a .251 batting average, Mike Trout leads the club with an average of .342.

The Red Sox won the last meeting 4-3. Matt Andriese recorded his second victory and Bobby Dalbec went 1-for-2 with a home run and two RBI for Boston. Tony Watson took his first loss for Los Angeles.

• TOP PERFORMERS: Xander Bogaerts leads the Red Sox with 50 hits and has 23 RBI.

Shohei Ohtani leads the Angels with 22 extra base hits and is batting .257.
