Houston at Boston

Boston needs to salvage the last game of this series with Houston, and the Red Sox have Chris Sale on the mound as he comes off a brilliant performance as he struck out 17 batters in only seven innings while allowing two runs on three hits against the Rockies. Sale has turned it around after a rough start this season and now has given up only three runs on nine hits his last three starts covering 21 innings pitched. Boston has won 60 of its last 89 home games and 17 of its last 22 home games versus left-handed starters. Boston hitters have a combined .333 batting average against Wade Miley in 78 at-bats. Look for Boston to snap Houston's winning streak. Play the Red Sox.
