Both teams are right around .500 this season, with Boston having a record of 8-7 and Los Angeles having a record of 7-7. Boston has been the better team most recently in the series, winning two of the last three contests and winning by an average margin of 2.67 runs per game in the previous three meetings, including Saturday’s 7-2 win in Game 2 which is why I am taking the moneyline for the Boston Red Sox when they host the Los Angeles Angels on Sunday afternoon.
