The Boston Red Sox will go for their third straight win when they close out a 4-game set today in Arlington against the Texas Rangers. Boston will send the best lefty in the business to the hill, Chris Sale. The flame thrower has been his usual dominant self, with a 2-1 record, an ERA of 2.14 and a WHIP of just 0.98. Texas counters with Doug Fister. Fister has pitched well despite a 1-2 record. He has a very respectable 2.88 ERA and a 1.48 WHIP. The Red Sox have been a force on the road, with a record of 13-5 and they are 7-1 in Sale’s last 8 road starts against teams with a losing record. The Rangers have one of the worst home records in the Majors at 5-14, and they are 2-7 in their last 9 games against southies. That doesn’t bode well for Texas with Sale on the hill.
