Red Sox vs Rangers Prediction

The Red Sox aren’t having a great week, and they haven’t been able to take advantage of home-field advantage. However, Leiter has been hittable for much of his career, and he’s allowed 4 or more earned runs in 3 of his last 4 starts. In 34 road innings, Leiter has a 5.29 ERA and a .242 batting average allowed. Gray has een a bright spot for the Red Sox with a 3.20 ERA and 1.24 WHIP, and Boston has won 8 of his last 10 starts. In 25 home innings, Gray has a 2.52 ERA and a .202 batting average allowed. This feels like a spot where the Red Sox can stop the bleeding. Give me the home team and the low price.
