The Red Sox have not been performing well this year on the road and with Sale taking to the mound in this game the Red Sox are going to have to step up offensively, but against Miley it could be difficult for the offense to compensate for the lack of production from Sale. Look for the Astros to be able to take advantage of Sale on the mound and bring home another win in this game. Final Score, Houston Astros win 6-2.
