Red Sox vs. Dodgers preview
Stats and records as of July 30
The Red Sox head to Los Angeles amid a turnaround that few could have predicted months ago. Fueled by their historic 15-game winning streak and excellent pitching that ranks among baseball's best in team ERA (3.53, third), Boston has flipped the script on its season. The organization also shapes up as a buyer with Monday's trade deadline looming and is very much alive as a Wild Card contender.
Veteran catcher Willson Contreras has served as the team's primary offensive threat, leading Boston's offense in several categories including home runs (22), average (.284) and runs (54). Elsewhere, first-time All-Star Ceddanne Rafaela has continued his breakout season to the tune of a .280 average and 13 stolen bases.
Dave Roberts and the Dodgers sit comfortably atop the NL West as the calendar flips from July to August. Though Shohei Ohtani 's health has required heightened management, the defending World Series champions into the new month and trade deadline with optimism.
They're nearly 30 games above .500 despite stars Kyle Tucker (.237 BA, 9 HR) and Mookie Betts (.229 BA, .692 OPS) performing well under their standards, while steady backstop Will Smith has missed almost two months. Andy Pages has enjoyed a career year thus far, where he has blossomed into one of the team's most consistent offensive contributors.
Once again, the Dodgers have relied on stellar pitching, which has produced MLB's fourth-best team ERA (3.59).
