Los Angeles Angels vs. Boston Red Sox Prediction

I’m leaning towards the Angels here. The Red Sox just continue to freefall, and I don’t think it’s going to get any better with Lucas Giolito on the mound, given his struggles at Fenway, and I think that the Angels and their lineup that’s starting to get healthy can do enough to snag the win. Give me the Halos here.
