In this game the Indians are on the road and that will definitely make it harder for the Indians to win. However, at the same time the Indians are putting the better overall pitcher on the mound here and while that will make up some difference, the fact that Plesac is giving up more hits will definitely make it hard to see the Indians win the game. Final Score, Boston Red Sox win 5-4.
