Oakland has relied exclusively on the long ball to produce against left-handed pitching. The A's overall are hitting .227 against them with 12 runs, 11 of which courtesy of the longball. Boston LHP Eduardo Rodriguez was shelled in his opening game at Seattle, but he doesn't give up many homers, fewer than one per game on average in 2018 and just one against the Mariners. Brett Anderson has been shut-down at home for the A's, but Boston has been among the better-batting teams against lefties, and all-time against Anderson the lineup is hitting .428. Take the RedSox to win versus the A's again.
