Tampa Bay Rays vs. Boston Red Sox Prediction

This is the second of a four-game series, and this is the first series of the four that these two teams will play this year. The Red Sox have looked good so far this year where the Rays have not at times. Can the Rays sweep this series? I am not sure, but I think that they lose, and lose big tonight!

Nick Pivetta starts out for the Red Sox today with a 1-2 record and a 3.60 ERA. Pivetta has pitched 15 innings so far this year, giving up 15 hits, two walks, 14 strikeouts, and a 1.13 WHIP so far this season! Pivetta has been average so far this year, although he has only pitched 15 innings!

The Red Sox are 15th in the league in runs (4.2). They are a better hitting team on the against RHP hitting .408 slugging compared to their overall slugging of .397. The Red Sox will be ready to go against this mediocre Rays team, and are hoping to get in the win column this series with a win tonight at Fenway Park. The Red Sox are just 9-11 at home this season, but I think that they get win No. 10 tonight!

Take the Red Sox ML tonight! Let's cash!

Anthony Joshua returns against Kristian Prenga as a massive -1200 favorite in his first fight since surviving a devastating car crash in December. With a long-awaited Tyson Fury showdown potentially awaiting later this year, Joshua should pursue an emphatic early finish rather than allow the dangerous but unproven Prenga to build confidence.
