Prediction:
Neither pitcher is having a very good season and the Red Sox bullpen is fatigued from the series against LA. I’m going to say both offenses get rolling tonight and rather than picking a side, I’m going to say a shootout takes place and the over hits. I’d much rather side with the hitting here than the pitching.
