This is a good opportunity for Boston to rebound from getting swept by the Yankees as Texas is a miserable 14-45 on the road and on a current three-game losing streak after getting swept at home by Seattle. The Rangers have lost 52 of their past 72 games, and they come off a 9-8 defeat on Thursday when Ty France hit a go-ahead homer in the 11th for the Mariners after Texas had tied it with five runs in the ninth. Boston has won nine of the last 11 meetings at home, and the Red Sox have won 22 of 30 as home favorites. Chris Sale will make his second start of the season after allowing two runs on six hits in five innings against Baltimore on Saturday. Dane Dunning is 0-5 with a 6.45 ERA on the road with a .307 opponent batting average. Take the Red Sox.
