Mets vs Red Sox Prediction
The New York Mets and Boston Red Sox face off on Saturday in an MLB showdown at Fenway Park.
The Mets sit with a 45-51 record overall and they have been one of the most disapointing teams in all of baseball. The Mets won two of three against the White Sox in the last series, but they also lost their game on Thursday. The Mets scored only two runs, and that didn’t give them much of a chance. Pete Alonso has been inconsistent this season, but he has still hit 26 home runs and driven in 63 RBIs. On the mound for the Mets is Max Scherzer who sits with an 8-3 record and an ERA of 3.99. In his last start against the Dodgers he went seven innings giving up one hit and zero runs.
The Red Sox sit with a 51-46 record overall but they are coming off two straight losses against the Oakland Athletics. The offense only scored five runs during the two games and that led to the defeats. The Red Sox are averaging 5.1 runs while their pitching is giving up 4.65 runs per game. On the mound for the Red Sox is James Paxton who sits with a 5-2 record and an ERA of 3.51. In his last start against the Cubs he went three innings giving up three hits and six runs.

Shane’s Free Pick
Paxton is coming off a start where he gave up six runs and he’s going to struggle again in this game. Scherzer in his last start went seven innings giving up one hit and zero runs. Scherzer is going to lockdown again in this game, and that is going to be the difference as the Mets get the job done. Back the Mets on the money line.
