Los Angeles Angels vs. Boston Red Sox Prediction

I’m backing the Angels here. I just don’t love the form the Red Sox are in right now and while the Angels aren’t too hot themselves, we’re not being asked to lay juice with a Red Sox team that’s 0-4 in Fitts’ starts this season and are 0-8 all time in Fitts’ starts. Anderson has been rock solid for the Angels this season and has been the starter for a lot of their victories. The Red Sox just haven’t hit lefties well either as of late and while the bullpen is always a concern for the Halos, I think the Angels pull off the upset in game one. Give me the Angels.
