LOS ANGELES (Interstat) — The Boston Red Sox have won the first two games of this three-game series at Dodger Stadium. They will try to complete a sweep Sunday against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Boston (60-51) enters on an 8-2 roll in its past 10 games. The Dodgers (69-42) have dropped the first two games of the set after winning six of their previous eight. Jake Bennett (7-4) is Boston’s scheduled starter. Emmet Sheehan (4-7) is scheduled for Los Angeles. Clear skies and 85 degrees are forecast at game time. Ceddanne Rafaela has been the Red Sox’ offensive spark. The center fielder went 2 for 4 with two home runs and two RBIs in Saturday’s 3-2 win, one day after going 3 for 5 with a homer and two RBIs. In the series, Rafaela is 5 for 9 with three homers and four RBIs. He has 11 RBIs over his past seven games. Yoshinobu Yamamoto is a player to watch for the Dodgers, although he is not scheduled to pitch. Yamamoto allowed three earned runs over eight innings with three strikeouts in Saturday’s loss. He also worked nine innings earlier this month against the New York Yankees, allowing two earned runs. In Saturday’s game, Boston starter Payton Tolle went six innings, allowing two earned runs on nine hits with seven strikeouts. Aroldis Chapman pitched a scoreless ninth for the save. For the Dodgers, Teoscar Hernandez went 3 for 4 with a homer and two RBIs, and Alex Vesia threw a scoreless inning. The Red Sox won Friday’s series opener 9-4 before taking Saturday’s pitcher-friendly matchup. Boston has been productive against Los Angeles’ pitching, scoring 12 runs in the series. The Dodgers have relied on Hernandez and a deep bullpen, but their starters have struggled to contain Boston’s lineup. Interstat’s game simulator projects a 7-6 Dodgers win, and Interstat’s ELO system gives Los Angeles a 60.4 percent probability to win. The Dodgers are installed as -1.5 favorites on the run line, with the over/under set at 9. After Sunday’s finale, Boston returns home for a six-game homestand against the Chicago White Sox and Athletics beginning Tuesday. Los Angeles travels to Chicago to face the Cubs on Monday before a weekend series at Arizona. The Red Sox are seeking their first three-game sweep in Los Angeles, while the Dodgers are aiming to avoid falling three games behind in the season series with a strong closing stretch ahead.
