The last time he was on the mound, Paxton went 6.0 innings long and allowed only an earned run (a home run) on five hits with five strikeouts in a 6-1 road win over the San Diego Padres last Friday. Boston will rely on Masataka Yoshida to deliver at the plate, as he has nine doubles plus six home runs while batting .300 this season.
The Red Sox are 6-1 in their last seven games versus a left-handed starter. They are also 6-2 in their last eight outings against a team with a winning record.
Starting for the Angels in this game will be Tyler Anderson. In his most recent appearance, Anderson gave up three earned runs on six hits with two walks and two strikeouts in 5.0 innings of a 6-5 victory at Camden Yards over the Baltimore Orioles last Thursday. The Angels have won in each of Anderson’s last three appearances as well. Of course, the Halos feel confident that Mike Trout will deliver for them. Trout has 10 doubles and 11 homers for the Angels this season, while Mickey Moniak is 13-for-31 with a couple of doubles and four home runs over the last 10 LA games.
The Angels are 4-1 in their last five outings versus a team with a winning record.
