The Boston Red Sox (53-43 SU, 44-52 ATS) continue their series with the Los Angeles Dodgers (57-41 SU, 48-50 ATS) looking to keep their momentum rolling. Quietly, the Red Sox have made their way back into the mix for the playoffs by picking up series wins each time out, winning eight of their past nine series. Only San Diego has managed to win a series off Boston since June 9, going 20-10 in that stretch.

The Dodgers might be heading in the other direction, and the pitching and defense seems to be the blame. Los Angeles’ 4-1 win over Boston on Friday marked the first time in 16 games that the Dodgers held an opponent to fewer than three runs. And in Justin Wrobleski’s two starts, things have really gotten out of hand. In his two trips to the mound as a starter in Los Angeles, the Dodgers have allowed 20 runs.

Our Los Angeles Dodgers vs Boston Red Sox Prediction

Brayan Bello hasn’t really inspired confidence in run prevention, even as the Red Sox have given him plenty of run support. Bello has won 10 games on the season, despite a 5.32 ERA. This speaks mostly to the Red Sox’s improvement at the plate, as Boston has the best batting average in the American League.

Last year, with his ERA a full run lower, Bello’s record was just 12-11. This year has been far different because the Red Sox can usually count on their offense to get the job done. In Boston’s past eight wins, the Red Sox have scored five runs or more on seven occasions. Against Wrobleski, the Red Sox’s hitters are likely to put up a fair amount of runs. Our prediction for Boston vs. Los Angeles is Red Sox Team Total Over 4.5 Runs.
