Los Angeles Angels vs Boston Red Sox Prediction

I’m just not in the business of backing the Angels, a team that doesn’t win enough to deserve a fair shake most nights. Johnson has been better lately, but he still has a 5.17 ERA and 1.39 WHIP on the season. The Red Sox are closing in on a playoff spot, and home games against bad teams are a gift. Bennett has been strong with a 3.34 ERA and 1.02 WHIP on the season. I’m rolling with the Red Sox in a bounce-back victory.
