This is the 2nd game of a 4-game series with the Red Sox on Tuesday with the series opener still to be played on Monday. Their offense ranks 16th in the MLB with a .703 OPS. Zach Plesac is their starting pitcher on Monday while there is no probable starting pitcher yet making his start in this game on Tuesday. 

 

The Red Sox enter this game on a 5 game losing streak. They lost their last series against the Toronto Blue Jays getting swept 3-0 in a 3-game series. They enter this game with a 48-48 record overall and have a home record of 23-23. This is the 2nd game of a 4-game series with the Guardians on Tuesday with the 1st game still to be played on Monday. Their offense ranks 8th in the MLB with a .729 OPS. Nick Pivetta is on the mound on Monday while Josh Winckowski will be throwing the first pitch in this game on Tuesday. He is 3-4 with a 4.38 ERA this season. His team lost their last 3 straight games this season with him making an appearance. In his last start, he allowed 3 ER, 1 HR, and 2 BB with 5 Ks on 4 hits through 6 IP against the Tampa Bay Rays. 

The current betting odds have the Guardians listed as a favorite in this game. The Guardians have lost their last 2 games, splitting their series against the White Sox, but they have still been playing very well over the last 2 weeks. They are fighting to catch the Twins for the lead in the AL Central and they have plenty of motivation here to beat up on a struggling Red Sox team. The Red Sox have been awful in their last 5 games. They have lost all 5, getting swept by the Blue Jays and losing 2 games to the Yankees. Their pitching has been awful though as they have been allowing so many runs and have been averaging over 13 runs allowed per game in their last 5. Their bullpen has been awful but they have so many injured starters as well that their bullpen is being stressed too much and they have no one to replenish it either. Again, they have a player from the bullpen making a start here and the Guardians have already been scoring a lot of runs in their recent games. They will beat up on the Red Sox here like everyone else has been recently and the Guardians should be able to win this game, inching closer to the Twins for 1st place. The best way to place a bet here is on the Guardians to win this game.

“It’s very challenging and tough, but no one will feel sorry for you, especially the opposing team. They feel it’s a perfect situation for them. We need to go out with the team and the lineup we have. We’re all here for a reason. We can play.” - Xander Bogaerts after their loss against the Blue Jays on Saturday.
