Boston at Philadelphia

Boston finished a nice homestand but the Red Sox are on a 3-7 run on the road. 34-year-old Chris Sale (6.75 ERA) has been erratic and particularly bad on the road with an 8.36 ERA with home teams hitting .339 off him. The Red Sox are on a 6-15 run away from home, including 4-10 on the road against a righty starter, and 7-22 away after three straight divisional games. While Boston played yesterday, Philadelphia had the day off as they return from a road trip. The NL Champion Phillies are 8-5 at home and 18-4 at home after a game where their bullpen blew a save. They've won four of six starts made by Zack Wheeler (3.86 ERA), who sports a 41-to-11 strikeout-to-walk ratio. He's also holding batters to a .183 average at home. With the Phillies 44-23 at home after back-to-back losses by 4 or more runs, back home field. Play Philadelphia.
