The 2018 World Series between the Boston Red Sox and the Los Angeles Dodgers continues this Wednesday night when Fenway Park witnesses Game 2 among the best MLB teams. The Red Sox took the lead in the first game with a final score of 8-4 but that does not determine that this match has the same outcome.
The Boston team must take advantage of playing against their people to continue the great run it brings. During the regular season they won 108 games and have since beaten teams like the New York Yankees and the Houston Astros with relative ease.
After taking advantage in Game 1, Boston will look to win two consecutive home games for the first time in the three series he has had. Recall that in the Division Series as in the American League Championship Series, the Red Sox lost at least one game of the first two at home, which leaves the Dodgers hope to even the score.
The starting pitcher of the home team will be David Price, who reversed his postseason problems in Game 5 of the Championship Series and tied his scores to 1 win and 1 loss. Price has an effective record of 5.11.
After Clayton Kershaw gave the Dodgers just four innings in Game 1, the capacity of the team’s bullpen will be tested. The Los Angeles team, on the other hand, will send left-hander Hyun-Jin Ryu to the launch area. So far Ryu has the same results as the rival pitcher (1-1) with a 4.40 ERA.
The visitors come from defeating the Atlanta Braves during the Division Series and the Milwaukee Brewers in the National League Championship Series. Unlike their rival, they suffered more against the Brewers and could get the tiebreaker until Game 7. They may come more exhausted than their opponent in turn.
The Dodgers can not afford to go 2-0 back in this series when that means they would need to win 4 of the next 5 games against a 108-win team.
The Angels hope to get at least one Ryu start in six innings, similar to the one they produced in Game 1 of the Divisional Series. But that will be difficult against a Boston lineup that succeeded against Kershaw in the first game of the World Series.
