I’m on the Red Sox here. I just think that Suarez is the better starting option by a fair mile in this game, and the Red Sox are playing some of their best baseball in recent memory across their last few games. I think until the Angels get out of this slump, it’s hard to back them so give me the Red Sox in this one.
