Matchup Overview

Team  Starter            W–L    ERA     WHIP  Recent Form

Red Sox           Walker Buehler (R)   5–5      5.95     1.51      Pierced for 8 ER in 3.1 IP last start

Buehler’s struggles have intensified, surrendering eight runs in just 3.1 innings during his last appearance. Meanwhile, Kochanowicz remains error-prone but offers reasonable strikeout depth.

Key Storylines

Boston’s rotation in crisis

Buehler has been tagged for multiple rough outings, and the team has lost two straight, including that 9–5 defeat.

Anaheim’s edge at home

The Angels, playing at Angel Stadium, are hungrier for a series win and stand to benefit from Boston’s recent jitters.

Offensive confidence shift

Boston’s bats have been quiet against tough pitching. Meanwhile, LA’s lineup showed signs of life in their last game—scoring eight runs.

Expect more offense than usual given both starters’ recent inconsistency.

Red Sox vs. Angels MLB BETTING PREDICTION

Why Anaheim pulls away:

Buehler’s command issues make for a short outing and extra strain on Boston’s bullpen.

Kochanowicz should hold his own for 4–5 innings, keeping Angels in the game.

LA’s bats, energized by a recent 8-run performance, should capitalize.

Final call: Look for an early high-scoring clash, with Boston grinding back to within two by the 8th but falling short—Angels prevail 7–5.
