Boston at Washington

Boston feasted on Washington's bad pitching in the last two days, winning 11-2 and 10-3. The offense is sixth in runs scored, eighth in on-base percentage, and sixth in slugging. The Red Sox traded for Garrett Crochet (2.34 ERA) in the offseason to be an ace, and he has been. He faces a Washington offense that is 15th in runs scored, 20th in on-base percentage, and 20th in slugging. The pitching is 28th in ERA (5.15) and last in the bullpen (5.85 ERA), so they call up Shinnosuke Ogasawara to make his Major League debut. The last-place Nationals are on a 7-19 slide. Play Boston.
