Boston has rebounded from a rough stretch that caused it to fall out of first place and won five of its past seven games, including a 4-3 victory over the Indians on Friday night. Jonathan Arauz hit a go-ahead three-run homer in the eighth and the Red Sox won despite getting only three hits. Nathan Eovaldi goes tonight and he is coming off three good starts while allowing only three earned runs in 19 innings. Cleveland hitters are batting only .203 with a .263 slugging percentage in 38 at-bats against Eovaldi. Boston is 35-17 its past 52 games versus AL Central teams and Cleveland is 29-62 its past 91 games as an underdog, 8-23 as a home dog. Also, the Indians have won just nine of 32 against teams with winning records. Play the Red Sox.
