I really like the Dodgers in this spot after they shut out the Red Sox last night. When the Red Sox are without their best hitter in David Ortiz the entire line up really seems to struggle. He's out again today and they also have to bat a pitcher so in reality they are losing two hitters in this one. They will have to face Ryu who has been great at home posting a 1.78 ERA on the year and he's been solid with quality starts in 9 of his 11 starts on 4 days rest posting a 3.03 ERA overall. Red Sox hit RHP much better than LHP and Ryu should pitch another quality outing here at home.

Jon Lester on the other hand comes in with another start on 4 days rest and this is happening on the west coast. Over his last 10 starts on 4 days rest he's been really bad posting a 6.07 ERA and giving up 5 or more ER 6 of the 10 starts. The Dodgers have a ton of confidence and have the advantage at home and the bullpen is also an advantage right now as they have posted a 2.08 ERA in their last 10. Lester also has a 4.11 ERA on the road this year and the Dodgers have the #1 ERA during day games.
