Peralta has allowed 28 hits and 16 earned runs in his last 17 innings. The Red Sox have won 7 straight games and 12 of their last 14 games overall. I don’t care who takes the mound for the Red Sox, they’re as hot as any team in baseball right now. The Mets still suck. Give me the Red Sox to keep things rolling.
