Baseball is a streaky sport and after losing 3 in a row, Boston is now on a 3-game run. The Red Sox should make it 4 in a row tonight when their ace southpaw, Chris Sale, takes the mound at Fenway to face Matt Andriese and the Tampa Bay Rays. Sale is 15-7, with an ERA of 2.85, and he mowed down the Rays on August 8th, throwing 8 scoreless innings with 13 strikeouts and giving up just 2 hits. Matt Andriese is 5-2 with a 3.78 ERA. The Rays are 1-5 in his last 6 road starts and they are 4-10 in their last 14 trips to Fenway. Boston is 4-0 in Sale’s last 4 turns against a team with a losing record and 6-2 in his last 8 home starts.
TONIGHT’S PICK: BOSTON RED SOX
