Boston has played six series so far in the month of August. Where they only loss one, a three game sweep to the hands of the Astros two weeks ago.
The Red Sox started off the month of August taking two of three from the Rangers and Royals before the sweep to the Astros. Then taking another two out of three against the Rangers and after leaving a four game series with the Orioles tied 2-2 they get a chance to get their get back against Houston.
Boston Red Sox Looking to Finish Strong
Boston is prepared to start a three game series at home this weekend against the Arizona Diamondbacks before playing five games in four days against the Blue Jays.
