</h2>
<p>
The Red Sox took a 2-0 series lead yesterday with their 4-2 win over the Dodgers in Game 2. The Red Sox scored four runs on eight hits, and the Dodgers scored two runs on only three hits. Boston scored three of their four runs in the 5th inning where J.D. Martinez hit a two-run single with two outs to break the 2-2 tie.
</p>
<p>
The Red Sox are riding a six-game winning streak, and they have not lost since losing Game 1 of the ALCS to the Houston Astros. Boston has won 14 of their last 16 World Series games starting with sweeping the St. Louis Cardinals in 2004, and they also won the series in 2007 and 2013.

The Dodgers have their backs against the Wall down 2-0 in this series, but so far in the playoffs, they are 4-1 at home. However, the last 10 teams that have won the first two games of the World Series have gone on to win it. L.A. will try to cool down a Boston team that has won all five of their road games in this post-season.
</p>
<p>
This season the Red Sox rank 1st in runs scored and 8th in team ERA and the Dodgers rank 6th in runs scored and 2nd in team ERA.

Pitching Match-Up<br />
</h2>
<p>
<b>Boston:</b> Rick Porcello (17-7 4.28 ERA)<br />
<b>L.A.: </b>Walker Buehler (8-5 2.62 ERA)
</p>
<p></p>
<p>
Porcello’s last start was in Game 4 of the ALCS where he did not have the best outing giving up four earned runs on seven hits in four innings, but the lineup had his back in an 8-6 Boston win over the Astros. In his other playoff start, this season he gave up one earned run in five innings in a 4-3 win over the New York Yankees. In these playoffs, Porcello has four appearances, including two starts, and has given up five earned runs in 10 2/3 innings of work.
</p>
<p>
Porcello did not allow any HR in his first three post-season appearances, but in his last outing he gave up two. The Red Sox have won four of Porcello’s last five road starts and they have won 15 of his last 16 interleague starts.
</p>
<p>
Buehler's was a big one in Game 7 of the NLCS, and he came up big only giving up one earned run on six hits in four 2/3 innings in a 5-1 win over the Milwaukee Brewers. That start was much better than his two others in the playoffs where he gave up nine earned runs in 12 innings. In Buehler’s three playoff starts he has struck out 22 batters and walked four and has given up one HR in each outing.
</p>
<p>
The Dodgers won all four of Buehler’ interleague starts this season. The Dodgers have won seven of Buehler's last 10 home starts, and they have won his last five Friday starts.
