Rays vs Red Sox Pickswise Expert Predictions
The Rays are in a brutal stretch of their schedule right now. On Saturday, Kevin Cash’s squad will be playing their ninth game of a 10-game road trip, and will have played 14 of their last 17 games on the road. They are struggling on their current road trip, as they are just 2-6 thus far. Things won’t get any easier for the Rays as they go up against a Red Sox team that has caught fire. Boston won the first game of this series by a score of 5-4 on Friday night, and is now riding an 8-game win streak. They’ve also won 11 of their last 13 games dating back to June 28.
Boston will send Garrett Crochet to the mound, which spells bad news for Tampa Bay. Crochet owns a 2.39 ERA and 1.09 WHIP through 19 starts and 120.1 innings this season. He struggled in his last home outing on June 30 against the Reds, so he will be looking to bounce back in front of his home fans at Fenway Park. The Rays haven’t hit lefties particularly well, so Crochet could be in a solid position to put together a strong outing. Take confidence fading the Rays and backing the Red Sox -1.5.
