Rangers vs Red Sox Prediction

Now 5-5 since the first of the month, the Red Sox are still seven games behind the Baltimore Orioles in the AL East. However, the club's hitting has been stronger than recent results might suggest.

Over the past ten days, the Sox are seventh in batting average, and eighth in MLB when it comes to runs scored. However, over the past six games, the club lays claim to the highest combined ERA in MLB.

Now 3-7 over the course of their last ten games, the Rangers sit some 8.5 games behind the Houston Astros, who lead the AL West division. Over the past seven days of play, Texas ranks 24th out of thirty teams in ERA. Additionally, big bats like Corey Seager, Adolis Garcia, and Marcus Semien are not making the impact that they were expected to for their team.

Prediction: Boston W, 3-1
