Los Angeles @ Boston picks

While there’s been a lot of drama surrounding Rafael Devers this season, he’s still doing his part offensively. The slugger is hitting .286 with 12 home runs and 52 RBIs so far, leading the way for the Boston Red Sox alongside Alex Bregman.Facing lefties is rarely a strong suit for left-handed hitters, but Devers is hitting .308 against southpaws. While only two of his homers are off lefties, he’s had success against Los Angeles Angels starter Tyler Anderson, who takes the mound in the series opener. Devers is 3 for 7 lifetime with a bomb. He’s also batting .330 at home compared to .246 on the road, with eight homers at Fenway Park. I could see Devers leaving the yard in this contest.
