The Red Sox took Game 1 of the series 3-2 and will look to carry that momentum forward by sending James Paxton to the mound. He is 6-2 with a 3.46 ERA. San Francisco will look to even the series by sending HP Anthony DeSclafani to the mound. He is 4-8 with a 4.88. Boston is 8-4 since the All-Star break and has won five in a row. Over those five games, they have outscored their opponents 29 -13. The Giants won five in a row after the break, then lost six in a row. They had a two-game winning streak snapped in yesterday's loss. DeSclafani hasn’t lasted five innings in either of his last three starts with 11 runs allowed and six home runs. Boston has played really well since the break and Paxton has been good on the mound. The Giants have been inconsistent since the break and are hard to trust. Take Boston in this one.
