Boston Red Sox vs Seattle Mariners Prediction
Pivetta is coming off a terrible start, but he’s going to bounce back in a big way here. The Mariners are averaging only 3.83 runs per game, and I just don’t trust their offense here. The Red Sox are still averaging 4.79 runs per game, and they are going to find success again here. The Mariners’ offense won’t score more than two runs here, and the Red Sox are going to get the job done here.
