The Red Sox are coming off a nightmare of a weekend where they got swept by the Blue Jays, getting outscored by a ridiculous 40-10 score in the process. Now, can they wake up from that nightmare in time to open a series with the Cleveland Guardians?
The Red Sox are 3-14 in their last 14 games when facing a right-handed starter. Find moreOur side and total predictions are based upon our analysis of the line and total in this game. Our best bet is our favorite pick across all markets.Not only did the Red Sox get walloped by the Blue Jays over the weekend, but in their last three series overall they are just 1-9, scoring just three runs per game.
Yes, this can be one of the more dangerous offenses in baseball, but with Rafael Devers and Trevor Story on the shelf for a bit and J.D. Martinez nursing a back injury, this lineup just doesn’t have the same pop. Heck, Christian Vasquez hit in the 2-hole for Boston all weekend. If those guys were guaranteed healthy, the Red Sox would be worth a look here because Plesac has some wonky advanced stats, but the right-hander is a control pitcher with an xFIP of 4.38 and has proven he can take advantage of sub-par lineups. And frankly, that’s what the Red Sox are at the moment.It doesn’t help that they are countering Plesac with Pivetta. The right-hander was solid for most of the season up until July when the Yankees and Rays have teed off on him over his last three starts.
Cleveland ranks second in batting average, and eighth in OPS and in wRC+ when facing righties this season. Mix in a Boston bullpen that got taxed over the weekend and it becomes very difficult to want to have anything to do with a Red Sox team with rumors of selling at the trade deadline swirling.
