Boston only scored 2 runs last night on their home field.

I like the Red Sox to bounce back and avoid the quick 2-game sweep at home. Boston had won 5 straight before losing the series opener 3-2 on Tuesday. It really felt like the Red Sox gave that away as they had all the chances in the world to win that game late.





Philadelphia will be sending out Drew Smyly, who is a mere 2-5 with a 6.47 ERA and 1.594 WHIP in 14 starts. The Phillies are 1-5 in his last 6 road starts vs a team with a losing home record.

Red Sox will turn to Rick Porcello, who has been throwing a little better of late. He's got a 3.71 ERA and 1.00 WHIP in his last 3 starts.


Even with yesterday's loss Boston is 20-7 in their last 27 interleague games against a team with a winning record and 40-15 in their last 55 interleague home games. The RED SOX are the #1 team in Interleague play the past 10 years.

If that's not enough, Red Sox are 14-2 in Porcello's last 16 interleague starts. Take Boston!
