The Boston Red Sox are facing off against the Los Angeles Angels at Angel Stadium in Anaheim. Led by Walker Buehler, the Red Sox aim to capitalize on a recent surge, winning seven of their last ten games. In contrast, the Angels have been struggling, losing six of their last ten, and currently sit at the bottom of the league in batting. This matchup presents an opportunity for the Red Sox to further close the gap with the New York Yankees in the AL East.

With Buehler's recent performance—having allowed eight earned runs in just over three innings in his last outing—questions arise about his ability to hold up against a lineup that has struggled to find its rhythm. On the other hand, Jack Kochanowicz will take the mound for the Angels, who hope to stem their downward spiral with a solid showing. Betting odds favor the Red Sox, who are projected for a win on the moneyline with a spread of -1.5, and an anticipated total of 9 runs.
