Boston Red Sox vs Seattle Mariners

Boston had its six-game win streak snapped in an 8-0 loss to the Mariners on Tuesday, but the Red Sox will bounce back with their ace pitcher starting tonight. Garrett Crochet has a 2.24 ERA and a 1.03 WHIP. Boston has won his past three starts, including a 2-1 victory in 10 innings over the Yankees on Friday, when Crochet allowed one run on four hits in 8 1/3 innings. Seattle hitters are 11-for-47 with two homers against him. The Red Sox have gone UNDER six of seven, and the Mariners have stayed UNDER six of nine home games. Luis Castillo faced the Red Sox twice in 2024 and allowed seven runs on 12 hits in 11 innings. Boston has won five straight in the third game of a series, and it has won four in a row against teams that scored at least five runs in their previous game. Five of Crochet's past six starts have stayed UNDER. Take the Red Sox and the UNDER.

The Boston Red Sox have won six games in a row and are now two games over .500, but we have seen this before from this team. The Red Sox seem to get themselves over .500 and then go on a bad stretch, falling back below .500 again. Seattle has slipped to 1 game over .500. They have a big edge on the mound tonight behind Bryan Woo, who enters the game with a 3.17 ERA (2.53 at home). Woo has gone 13 straight starts where he completed at least six innings. Walker Buehler has not been nearly as impressive as he comes into the game with a 5.01 ERA. He has struggled on the road, where he has a woeful 7.43 ERA. These teams have split their last eight games played in Seattle, and I think the Mariners have a huge edge tonight. Make the play on Seattle.

The Boston Red Sox swept the Yankees over the weekend, and held the hard-hitting Bronx Bombers to four total runs in the 3-game series, striking out Aaron Judge nine times. The Red Sox then traded Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants. The Red Sox, in return, got lefthander Kyle Harrison and righthander Jordan Hicks. They also got prospect James Tibbs and rookie league right-hander Jose Bello. Tonight, the Red Sox will be without Devers from an offense that has produced just 15 total runs over their last five games, but because the pitching has allowed just eight total runs over the period, Boston has won all five games. Seattle comes to Boston off a 3-game sweep of the Guardians, allowing just five total runs. Both these teams are trending down offensively, while both pitching staffs have been great. Make the play UNDER the total.

Seattle is a long way from home as it looks to end a nine-game trek. Starter Bryan Woo has been great at home (1.38 ERA) but has a 4.85 ERA on the road. Boston got thumped yesterday but is 8-5 at home with an offense that is ninth in slugging, seventh in on-base percentage, and seventh in runs scored. Garrett Crochet (1.13 ERA) has been a great addition with 35 Ks in 32 innings while holding batters to a .168 average. He has a 0.77 ERA at home. Play Boston.
