Boston Red Sox vs Los Angeles Angels Prediction & Picks - MLB

Prediction published on 6/4/25, 9:56 AM  by Carlos Zabala | Modified on 6/4/25 at 4:45 PM in MLB Picks

Red Sox lost again to the Angels, with the betting odds marking Boston as a favorite at -135 or lower in two consecutive games. This marks the eighth loss in the last 10 games for the team managed by Cora.

The Angels won the first of the series 6-7 as underdogs, and it was thought that facing Kikuchi, who had a losing record, the Red Sox would be able to win Game 2. They lost again in a game where there was no home run, another fact that few saw coming after the five home runs hit by the two teams on Monday.

The Red Sox's defensive deficiencies were evident again on Wednesday. They committed three errors: the first by Rafaela, the second by Campbell, and the last by Zack Kelly, and that one resulted in a run for the Angels, the winning run, in the tenth inning.

The Red Sox are hoping to avoid a sweep at Fenway Park against a seemingly weak team like the Angels. To do so, they'll rely on Giolito once again, who, after a dismal start in May, turned things around somewhat to close out the month, allowing just one ER in the final 11.2 innings.
