Tigers vs Red Sox Prediction
The Tigers are worth a look with the way they’ve played up to this point, but I’ve never been a fan of these bullpen games. You have to rely on way too many arms to get to the finish line. Holton also hasn’t been good at home through 9.1 innings, as he has a 4.82 ERA and .278 allowed batting average. Bello is starting to find his footing, as he’s allowed eight hits and one run in his last 11.1 innings. The Red Sox are 4-0 this season when Bello pitches. We’re getting a cheap price and the more trustworthy pitching situation. I have to side with the Red Sox on Tuesday night.
