Los Angeles at Boston

This is the eighth straight road game for the stumbling Angels, 3,000 miles from home. They are on a 2-12 skid, off a 16-4 rout last night. You can't walk batters in Fenway Park but starter Andrew Heaney (5.09 ERA) allows too many free passes (19 in 46 innings). The Angels are 17-44 away against winning teams, plus Heaney is 2-10 on the road against winning clubs. Boston's offense is second in runs scored and on-base percentage, fourth in slugging. Red Sox righty Rick Porcello is 34-21 at home the last four seasons and the Red Sox are 71-28 against losing teams, plus 48-23 when Porcello faces a team with a losing record. Play Boston.
