The Athletics are coming into this game with a 21-41 record overall and they are 14-18 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. They have lost 11 of their last 12 games and are coming into this one off of a loss in their last game. They just lost their 4-game series against the Cleveland Guardians 3-1, had Monday off as a rest day, and they are playing the series opener of a 3-game series with the Red Sox on Tuesday. This will be the 1st game of the series on Tuesday. Cole Irvin was the starting pitcher for them on Sunday while rookie pitcher Jared Koenig will be on the mound for them here on Tuesday. He is 0-1 with a 9.00 ERA this season. His team lost their only game this season with him starting. In his last start, he allowed 4 ER, 0 HRs, and 2 BB with 3 Ks on 5 hits in 4 IP against the Atlanta Braves. They scored 19 runs in their last series averaging just under 5 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 22 runs against them averaging just over 5 runs allowed per game.

 

The Red Sox are coming into this game with a 32-29 record overall and they are 13-14 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They have won 2 of their last 3 games and are coming into this one off of a win in their last game. They just won their 3-game series against the Seattle Mariners 2-1, had Monday off as a rest day, and they are playing the series opener of a 3-game series with the Athletics on Tuesday. This will be the 1st game of the series on Tuesday. Kutter Crawford was the starting pitcher for them on Sunday while Nick Pivetta will be on the mound for them here on Tuesday. He is 5-5 with a 3.78 ERA this season. His team won 5 of their last 6 games this season with him as a starter. In his last start, he allowed 4 earned runs, 1 homer, and 2 BB with 11 strikeout on 6 hits in 5 innings played against the Los Angeles Angels. They scored 12 runs in their last series averaging 4 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 10 runs against them averaging just over 3 runs allowed per game.

 

The Red Sox are coming into this game as a big favorite with the current betting odds. They have been playing very well recently, they just lost 1 game in their last series but still won the series and that loss was their first in over 10 straight games. They also have Pivetta starting on the mound here and he had a rough start to the season but has pitched much better in his last few starts. He has not been allowing a lot of runs recently and it seems like he has settled in nicely for the season now, getting into a groove with his pitching. They are going up against an Athletics team that has been awful this season and has one of the worst records in the MLB right now. They also have a rookie on the mound here who is coming off of his first start in the MLB which was not very good either. The Red Sox have been heating up recently and they are going to get to him here. The best bet here is on the Red Sox to win this game on the runline.

"He's one of the most aggressive baserunners for being in the elite status of players. A lot of times you see those type of guys don't necessarily run the bases with the intensity that he does. He's a really, really good player." - Mark Kotsay after his team’s loss against the Guardians on Sunday.

 

 

"Unreal. It's just hand-eye coordination, power. You've got to be perfect to hit a ball like that, and he was for this one." - Alex Cora after his team’s win against the Mariners on Sunday.
