In this article, we will formulate a Miami Marlins vs Boston Red Sox Prediction for this MLB game on Tuesday, July 2nd at loanDepot Park. 

Red Sox Coming off Solid Win

The Red Sox are coming off a solid win in the last game against the San Diego Padres. The Red Sox gave up only one run on Sunday, and they ended up winning by three runs. Jarren Duran and Rafael Devers both hit a home run. The Red Sox are averaging 4.54 runs, while their pitching is giving up 4.18 runs per game. The offense is ranked 13th in the league, while the pitching is ranked 11th. Getting the start for the Red Sox will be Kutter Crawford, who sits with a 3-7 record and an ERA of 3.59. His last appearance came against the Toronto Blue Jays, he went 1.1 innings, giving up zero hits and zero runs. 



Why the Red Sox Will Beat the Marlins 

  • The Red Sox have won each of their last 13 night games against National League opponents following a home win.
  • The Marlins have lost 18 of their last 19 night games against AL East opponents following a loss.
  • The Marlins have failed to cover the run line in each of their last nine Tuesday home games against AL East opponents.
  • The Red Sox have covered the run line in 12 of their last 13 road games against National League opponents following a home win.
  • The Marlins have trailed after 5 innings in each of their last eight night games.

Marlins Struggled in Last Game

The Marlins in the last game struggled against the Philadelphia Phillies, and they ended up losing 7-6. They had 11 hits in that game, but the pitching gave up 14 runs. They had two errors in the game also. The Marlins are averaging 3.48 runs, while their pitching is giving up 4.99 runs per game. The offense is ranked 29th in the league, while the pitching is ranked 28th. Getting the start for the Marlins will be Valente Bellozo who will be making his second appearance in the MLB. One issue for this s Marlins team has been injury issues, especially to the pitching, and that’s why players like Bellozo are playing here. 

Miami Marlins vs Boston Red Sox Prediction

The Red Sox are going to put on a show here. Kutter Crawford is on the mound for the Red Sox and he has been strong this season. I don’t trust Bellozo, and he’s going to really struggle again here. The Red Sox bats are going to put on a show here, and Bellozo is going to be chased early here. The Marlins’ offense won’t score more than two runs here, and the Red Sox are going to get the job done here with ease. Back the Red Sox on the run line.
