The Red Sox are coming into this game with a 1-3 record overall and they are 1-3 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. They have lost 3 of their last 4 games and are coming into this one off of a loss in their last game. They just lost their 3-game series against the New York Yankees 2-1 and are playing the 3rd game of a 3-game series with the Tigers here on Wednesday night. This will be the series finale on Wednesday with the 2nd game still to be played on Tuesday. Rich Hill is the starting pitcher for them on Tuesday while Nathan Eovaldi will be on the mound for them here on Wednesday. He is 0-0 with a 5.40 ERA this season. His team lost the game with him as the starter. In his last start, he allowed 3 ER, 2 being HRs, and 1 BB with 7 Ks on 5 hits through 5 IP against the New York Yankees. They scored 11 runs in their last series averaging just under 4 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 13 runs against them averaging just over 4 runs allowed per game.

 

The Tigers are coming into this game with a 2-2 record overall and they are 2-2 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They have lost 2 of their last 3 games but are coming into this one off of a win in their last game which snapped a 2 game losing streak that they were on. They just lost their 3-game series against the Chicago White Sox 2-1 and they are playing the 3rd game of a 3-game series with the Red Sox on Wednesday. This will be the series finale on Wednesday with the 2nd game still to be played on Tuesday night. Tyler Alexander was the starter for them on Tuesday while Eduardo Rodríguez will be throwing the first pitch for them here on Wednesday. He is 0-0 with a 6.75 ERA this season. His team won the game with him as the starter. In his last start, he allowed 3 earned runs, 0 homers, and 2 BB with 2 strikeouts on 4 hits through 4 innings played against the Chicago White Sox. They scored 8 runs in their last series averaging just under 3 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 19 runs against them averaging just under 7 runs allowed per game.

 

The Red Sox are coming into this game off of a bad start to their season and they even threw away the opening game of this series with a 3-1 loss. They did not have a great starter in this game and even their Tuesday game is lacking a good pitcher but they have Eovaldi on the mound for this game and he is one of their more trusted starters. The Tigers have Rodriguez going in this game and he did not have a great start in his first game as he allowed 3 runs but his team still won. Eovaldi also allowed 3 runs in his first start and his team went on to lose that game but they will likely play better for him in this game. The Red Sox have not had a problem hitting the ball as they have been getting their hits in these first few games and they have the advantage with their bullpen over the Tigers as well. The Red Sox will be hungry to win here after some close losses to the Yankees while the Tigers were not even close in their losses to the White Sox. The Red Sox will win this game.
