Final Thoughts
I am expecting another low-scoring game between the Dodgers and Red Sox on Saturday night. Both Kershaw and Crochet will put together strong performances on the mound. But Crochet is just a little bit better than Kershaw at this stage of their careers. I’ll take the Red Sox to get the win as a slight favorite at home in what should be a fun pitcher’s duel from Fenway.
