Boston at Los Angeles

A pair of teams off to surprisingly good starts. Boston is in a difficult situational spot playing its 10th consecutive road contest, all 3,000 miles away on the West Coast. They come off a 2-1 loss yesterday to the Angels and are 10-25 on the road after having won three of four, plus 8-19 after a game where they had 4 or fewer hits. Los Angeles has won five of six and plays its third straight at home. Starter Chase Silseth opened the season on the road, but last year he held batters to a .198 average at home. With Boston 16-29 after playing six or more straight road contests, back home field. Play Los Angeles.
