Boston Red Sox vs. Seattle Mariners Prediction
I’m backing Boston here. So far, the Red Sox have thrown back-to-back lefties at Seattle and the Mariners have had no answer so why not one more in Tolle who has been solid for Boston this season. Gilbert’s been unusually weak at home this season and has been far better on the road which we’re not used to seeing, and I think the Red Sox get the job done here. Give me Boston.
