Randy’s Pick

I don't trust the Los Angeles Angels to string wins together, and it's only a matter of time before the Red Sox offense breaks out. Griffin Canning has also been a mess through 29.1 innings, with his ERA over 6 and a 1.50 WHIP. If the Red Sox can't find offense here, something is wrong. I'll lean toward the road team in this Tuesday night contest.
