The Boston Red Sox have won four in a row and will look to extend their streak at the expense of the Cleveland Guardians. Boston will send Nick Pivetta to the mound for game one of the series. He is 7-5 this season with a 3.31 ERA. The Guardians will send Cal Quantrill to the mound. He is 4-4 with a 3.77 ERA this season. Boston has won nine of their last 12 games, and they have won six of their last ten against Cleveland. The Guardians were on a three-game winning streak before losing their last game to Minnesota. The Red Sox have won eight of their last 10 games played on the road. The offense has started hitting and they have scored five runs or more in five of their last six games. Quantrill has given up 15 runs in his last five starts. He gave up six runs in two starts against the Red Sox. Pivetta has given up seven runs in his last five starts. I am sticking with the better pitcher and the better team.

Play on Boston. This is a 7* play.
