The Boston Red Sox are preparing to square off against the Los Angeles Angels in a game that promises some high-octane action. Boston will send James Paxton to the mound, with the Angels countering with Tyler Anderson. Boston is tagged as a -122 favorite, and with a high total of 9 runs, we can expect plenty of offense.

The Red Sox have struggled lately, with their bats unusually quiet in recent games. However, they are hoping for a change of fortunes against an Angels team led by Anderson, who has had his struggles, though he seems to be finding his groove lately. Anderson, a former All-Star, has allowed three or fewer runs in his last four starts, showing signs of returning to his old form.

On the other side, Paxton is set to start for the Red Sox. Despite being a veteran, his reliability, particularly on the road, is questionable. However, he demonstrated an encouraging performance in his last start, giving Boston hope for a competitive outing against the Angels.

LA (+103) could be a good play here, with Anderson seemingly finding his groove and Boston showing signs of regression. If Anderson can keep up his recent performance and the Angels’ offense can take advantage of Paxton on the road, LA has a solid chance to emerge victorious.
