This is an 8* play on BOSTON

The Red Sox really seem to have the Dodgers number, don't they? All it took was five games to win the World Series last Fall and last night was another whitewashing with Boston coming out ahead 8-1. The Dodgers have now lost seven straight times at Fenway Park. They've also lost four in a row going back to the first half of the season. You'd have to go back to early April and a six-game slide to find the only worse stretch of baseball LA has played in 2019. Usually, they have the edge in starting pitching, but not here with Ross Stripling facing Chris Sale. Sale hasn't been as good in years past, but this is a pretty amazing price on him, pitching at home no less. Stripling has given up four runs in each of his last two starts and didn't make it out of the fifth either time. He's not made it past the fifth since April 14th vs. Milwaukee. He's only in the rotation because of an injury to Rich Hill. The Red Sox have quietly won five in a row, so this is a bad time for the Dodgers to be returning to Beantown. Play on BOSTON
