The Boston Red Sox will look to even their 3-game series with the St. Louis Cardinals this afternoon at Fenway. Boston is 22-17 overall and 13-8 at home. St Louis is 14-25 overall and 8-12 on the road. Two southpaws are expected to oppose each other, with Chris Sale tapping the rubber for the Red Sox and Steven Matz for the Cardinals. The 7-time all star, Sale, gets better each time he takes the mound so disregard his 3-2 record and elevated 6.37 ERA. Matz has struggled, still winless at 0-4 with a 5.70 ERA. The Red Sox are 6-1 in their last 7 at Fenway and 4-0 in their last 4 games against a left-handed starter.
