Rangers vs Red Sox Prediction
The Texas Rangers will play the Boston Red Sox in Game 1 of their series on Tuesday afternoon at Fenway Park in Boston, Massachusetts.
Rangers Preview
The Texas Rangers are 50-35 this season and they have lost four of their last five games. Texas is coming off of a series loss to Houston, where they lost three out of four games. The Texas pitching staff has a 3.92 ERA, a 1.19 WHIP, and a .234 opponent batting average this season. The Rangers offense has scored 505 runs with a .274 batting average and a .342 on base percentage. Adolis Garcia is batting .262 with 21 home runs and 69 RBI’s for the Rangers. The projected starting pitcher for Texas is Dane Dunning, who is 7-1 with a 2.69 ERA and a 1.10 WHIP over 80.1 innings pitched this year.
Red Sox Preview
The Boston Red Sox are 43-42 this season and they have won three games in a row. Boston is coming off of a series win against Toronto, where they won all three games played. The Boston pitching staff has a 4.40 ERA, a 1.29 WHIP, and a .251 opponent batting average. The Red Sox offense has scored 414 runs with a .260 batting average and a .329 on base percentage this year. Rafael Devers is batting .256 with 20 home runs and 66 RBI’s for the Red Sox. The projected starting pitcher for Boston is Chris Murphy, who is 0-0 with a 1.80 ERA and a 0.90 WHIP over 10 innings pitched this season.
Pick
Texas continues to lead the AL West, but they have not played very well over the last week. Texas is coming off of a series loss to Houston, which has tightened the race for the AL West. Boston is one game over the .500 mark, but they are in last place in the very competitive AL East. Boston is starting Chris Murphy, who will only pitch a couple of innings before turning the game over to the bullpen. Texas is starting Dane Dunning, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in three straight starts. I like the Rangers with Dunning on the mound here.
