In this article, we will formulate a Boston Red Sox vs Seattle Mariners Prediction for this MLB game on Wednesday, July 31st at Fenway Park.
Mariners Offense Broke Out
Overall this season the Mariners offense has been an issue, but on Tuesday they sure impressed. The Mariners scored 10 runs and they ended up winning by four runs. Dylan Moore had a strong game finishing with two hits and three RBIs. The Mariners are averaging 3.8 runs while their pitching is giving up 3.71 runs per game.
The offense is ranked 28th in the league while the pitching is ranked 1st. The pitching has been elite but the offense has been inconsistent all season. Cal Raleigh has hit 23 home runs and driven in 67 RBis so far this season. Getting the start for the Mariners will be George Kirby who sits with an 8-7 record and an ERA of 3.03. In his last start against the Chicago White Sox, he went seven innings giving up six hits and zero runs.
Red Sox Pitching Let Them Down
The Red Sox pitching really let them down and they gave up ten runs. Rafael Devers hit a home run and drove in four RBIs. James Paxton went 4.1 innings giving up six hits and three earned runs. The Red Sox are averaging 4.84 runs while their pitching is giving up 4.56 runs per game.
The offense is ranked 7th in the league while the pitching is ranked 20th. Rafael Devers has hit 23 home runs and driven in 64 RBIs so far this season. Getting the start for the Red Sox will be Brayan Bello who sits with a 10-5 record and an ERA of 5.27. In his last start against the New York Yankees, he went five innings giving up five hits and three runs. In each of the last three games has given up only three runs.
Boston Red Sox vs Seattle Mariners Prediction
This game is going to be lower scoring. Kirby gave up zero runs in his last start and he’s going to dominate the Red Sox bats here. The Mariners offense is going to really struggle to get the offense going here, and it wouldn’t shock me if they finish with only two runs here. Neither team is going to reach the four run mark, and this game is going to be lower scoring. Back the under to cash with ease.
