Boston has won six of nine following Saturday's 8-5 victory over the Dodgers when Adam Duvall hit a go-ahead three-run homer in the sixth and Alex Verdugo hit a first-inning leadoff homer for the third game in a row. Tanner Houck has pitched better than his record indicates lately as he has allowed 14 runs his past five starts in 24 innings, including three runs on four hits in five innings his last outing against Houston in a game the Red Sox eventually lost. Boston's bullpen is #8 in the majors with 39 saves. Caleb Ferguson will start a bullpen game for Los Angeles and Dodger relievers have 36 saves and a 1.25 WHIP. Only three Los Angeles batters have seen Houck and they are 1-for-9. Take the Red Sox on the runline and the UNDER.
