Game Analysis & Prediction

The Angels are on the verge of sweeping the Red Sox at Fenway Park, a feat that would highlight their recent resurgence. Defensive miscues have plagued Boston, with 10 errors in their last six games, contributing to their struggles in one-run contests (6-17 record) . Meanwhile, Los Angeles has played sharp defense, turning three double plays and throwing out a runner at the plate in Tuesday’s win.

With Soriano on the mound, the Angels have a strong chance to complete the sweep, especially given Boston’s recent offensive inconsistency. However, Giolito has been solid in his last few starts, and the Red Sox will be desperate to avoid a home sweep.
