4. Team Previews
Boston Red Sox
The Red Sox offense is ranked 3rd in the league with a batting average of .258 and has accumulated 931 hits this season, which is 3rd overall. Rafael Devers leads the team with a .297 batting average, 23 home runs, and 64 RBIs. The pitching staff has an overall ERA of 3.91, ranking them 13th in the league. James Paxton is a key figure in the rotation with an impressive record. However, their bullpen has allowed 48 walks in games he has pitched, which could be a concern if the Mariners manage to get runners on base.
Seattle Mariners
The Mariners have struggled offensively, ranking last in the league in hits with just 761 and 28th in runs scored, totaling 412. Cal Raleigh is their standout player, leading the team with a .216 batting average and 22 home runs. The Mariners' pitching staff has been solid, boasting a league-best ERA of 3.35, thanks in large part to Luis Castillo's consistency. However, their offense needs to find a way to support their pitchers to secure more wins moving forward.
