The Red Sox were on a 5 game losing streak and now enter this game off of a win. 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 49-48 record overall and have a home record of 24-23. This is the 3rd game of a 4-game series with the Guardians on Wednesday with the 2nd game still to be played on Tuesday. Their offense ranks 8th in the MLB with a .728 OPS. Josh Winckowski is on the mound on Tuesday while Nathan Eovaldi will be throwing the first pitch in this game on Wednesday. He is 4-3 with a 4.30 ERA this season. His team won 5 of their last 6 games this season with him making an appearance. In his last start, he allowed 9 ER, 1 HR, and 2 BB with 3 Ks on 8 hits through 2.2 IP against the Toronto Blue Jays. 

The current betting odds have the Red Sox listed as a slight favorite in this game. They have not been playing very well in their recent games as they have been allowing so many runs in their last few games. They finally stopped the bleeding on Monday with a win against the Guardians 3-1, and their pitching effort was a lot better in that game as well. The Guardians have been very inconsistent in their play recently as they are winning and losing games without putting any real streaks together. Eovaldi is starting for the Red Sox here and he has always been a very consistent and reliable pitcher for them. He is coming off of a very bad start where he allowed 9 runs against the Jays, but it is not very often that happens to him and he will be eager to bounce back with a much better performance here. Quantrill has been good recently but the Red Sox hitters are starting to heat up a bit, and the Guardians bullpen has not been great in their recent games either. The best way to place a bet here is on the Red Sox to win this game as they will start to bounce back from their awful play recently.
