Boston Red Sox – Team Insight

Garrett Whitlock, the right-hander for the Red Sox, has not fared much better than his counterpart. He comes into this game with a 4-2 record, a 4.50 ERA, and a WHIP of 1.22 over 46.0 innings. His performance has been subpar, especially when considering his ERA.
Hitting Analysis
Rafael Devers leads the Red Sox in power hitting with 18 home runs and 60 RBIs. Alex Verdugo’s .303 batting average also adds value to the lineup. The Red Sox have an overall batting average of .260 with 83 home runs and an OBP of .332.
Injuries

Prediction
Given that both starting pitchers, Alcantara and Whitlock, have been struggling lately and both teams have decent offensive power, it’s likely this game will see a higher scoring outcome. The Marlins’ inconsistent pitching combined with the Red Sox’s potent offense sets the stage for a potential slugfest.
Moreover, with both teams having injury issues, it might affect their defensive play, allowing for more runs to be scored. Considering all these factors, betting the over of 9 runs is the most promising choice for this matchup.
