Colorado at Boston

The Rockies have dropped five of their last six games to fall to 2-5 on a brutal road trip that hit St. Louis and Pittsburgh before coming to Boston. The Rockies are 19-58 in interleague games, plus 40-82 on the road against a right-handed starter. Starter Chad Bettis is 1-4 with an 8.10 ERA in nine career interleague games (five starts). He faces a Boston offense that leads the major leagues in runs scored. The Red Sox have scored five or more runs in 12 of 13 home games. Boston averages 6.73 runs at home and beat that number in Tuesday’s 8-3 series-opening victory. Boston is on a 13-3 run at home, including 10-1 at home against a team with a losing record. Red Sox starter Steven Wright (2.52 ERA) has been impressive and the Red Sox are 69-25 in interleague home games vs. a right-handed starter. Take Boston.
