#921/922 ASA top play on 10* OVER 9 Boston Red Sox @ Los Angeles Angels, 4:07 PM ET - The Angels have been without Mike Trout for some time now and also lost Justin Upton to injury June 23rd. Though Anthony Rendon recently got hurt, the Angels continue scoring runs and got 5 runs on 11 hits in last night's victory. Upton could be back today but, even if he is not, Los Angeles has averaged 6 runs per game and gone 7-2 last 9 games without him since June 23rd. In terms of slugging percentage, each of these teams rank in the top 8 out of all 30 MLB teams against left-handed pitching this season. Also, the Angels are one of the top slugging teams this season in home games and the Red Sox are one of the top slugging teams in the majors in road games thus far this season. Boston will certainly be happy to face anyone other than Shohei Ohtani who gave them trouble last night. Now the Red Sox take advantage of facing Andrew Heaney. The Angels lefty is 0-3 with a 9.64 ERA in his last 3 starts. On the season Los Angeles is 12-2 to the over in his starts including 6-1 when Heaney is at home. The southpaw has a 6.16 ERA in his career against Boston. The Red Sox start Eduardo Rodriguez in this one and he has a 10.56 ERA in the two career starts he has made at Anaheim. Though he is off a strong start at Oakland, Rodriguez has a 5.56 ERA in his road starts this season and the under in his outing against the A's was just the 3rd in his 11 road starts this season. You can see why the Angels bats should stay hot here. As for the Red Sox bats, Ohtani (known for dominating at home) got the better of them yesterday, but Boston's hot hitting should resume here. The Red Sox had won 10 of 11 before yesterday's loss and have scored an average of 6 runs per game during this stretch! That being said, plenty of runs are likely in this one given all of these factors. This total is in the 9 to 9.5 range but our computer math model shows this one getting well into double digits in runs scored with each club enjoying success at the plate and having a solid shot of getting to 5 runs apiece which, of course, would mean at least 11 runs (6-5 final at a minimum) in this one.
