The Astros are really playing great lately and that can really come in handy for the team as they are 14 games over the five hundred mark. The one aspect of their play that they have to improve upon is winning on the road. The Astros have not really been able to lock down a ton of games on the road and that has made the difference for the team in the winning and losing.
The Red Sox are coming in being only 3 games over the five hundred mark on the year. The Red Sox, though, have been able to play decent on the season at Fenway and that could help them out in this game as the Astros offense, which is one of the best, does not really do as good on the road compared to what they have done at home in the past.

The Red Sox are playing at home and will be facing Martin who has been decent for the Astros, but will be facing an amazing offense from the Red Sox here. Look for the Astros, though, to play decent offensively and make this into a good game, but still fall short in the game. Final Score, Boston Red Sox win 5-4.
