Boston Red Sox vs Cincinnati Reds Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 03/29/26

The Boston Red Sox will take on the Cincinnati Reds for the 3^rd game of their series. Both teams have won a game so far. Starting today’s game will be two young guys with limited experience in the MLB. The Red Sox will start Connelly Early who had a 1-2 record last season with a 2.33 ERA. While these numbers are good, he only pitched 4 total games last season prior to his sole playoff start where he ended with a 7.36 ERA. He may come into this one optimistic as the Reds only have 12 hits through the first 2 games of the series. Additionally, the Red Sox have amassed more hits and have shown a better bullpen.

For the Reds, they will start Rhett Lowder who will be making his first start since 2024. During the 2024 season, he pitched in 6 games and had a 2-2 record with a 1.17 ERA. These numbers are fantastic but there is some concern in the fact that it has been so long since he pitched in the MLB. This is worrying when we consider that the Reds bullpen has given up 5 runs through the first 2 games. Overall, the Red Sox are hitting the ball better and the bullpen is playing better. I am taking the Red Sox on the money line.
