The Houston Astros have dominated the Boston Red Sox on the road as of recent as they have won 5 of their last 7 meetings. The Boston Red Sox have finally dropped their early season slump, and look to be back in the hunt for a championship but one problem that remains is the pitching from ace Chris Sale. Chris Sale has been awful this season with a 1-5 record, and the Houston Astros could easily extend his losing streak considering the talent in their starting lineup and their top-notch pitching. The Houston Astros will continue their success on the road against a struggling Chris Sale. Final Score Prediction, Houston Astros win 5-2.
