Prediction and Conclusion

The Boston Red Sox are picking up their form after a slow  couple of months. They still have a losing home record, and this may be the series in which they will reach.500 at Fenway Park. The Red Sox scored 11 runs in the first two innings last night, which was enough to win the game. Tonight, the Red Sox will start Nick Pivetta, who is 4-5 for the season with a 4.06 ERA, 78 K, 68.2 IP, and 1.14 WHIP. The Athletics will try to match that with JP Sears, who is 5-7 for the season with a 4.74 ERA, 68 K, 95 IP, and 1.27 WHIP. The Athletics have lost 14 of the last 15 games on the road, and Boston is not the place where they can win tonight.
