Red Sox on Fire vs. A's in Freefall | Oakland Athletics News

The Boston Red Sox are on fire, riding an eight-game win streak and just surviving a brutal 13-inning thriller against the White Sox. Now they host the Oakland Athletics — who are flirting with the worst record in baseball — in a matchup that screams “Red Sox sweep.” With Fenway Park’s recent dominance (16-4 in last 20 games, 31-5 in last 36) and the A’s struggling mightily (7 wins in 39 games, 8-game skid), it’s a mismatch in every way… except maybe in heart. The A’s send out lefty-hating Jack Perkins to face Boston’s own lefty — a matchup that spells trouble for Oakland. Stats say sweep. But baseball? Baseball always finds a way to surprise.
