The Boston Red Sox and the Houston Astros meet Tuesday in MLB action from Daikin Park. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best bets for this game. Here’s a Boston Red Sox vs. Houston Astros prediction.
The Boston Red Sox will send out Brayan Bello for the start here and Bello was 11-9 with a 3.35 ERA and 124 strikeouts last season. In his career, Bello is 1-1 with a 2.31 ERA and 6 strikeouts against the Astros. Hunter Brown will start for Houston here and is 0-0 with a 0.00 ERA and 9 strikeouts this season. In his career, Brown is 2-0 with a 1.89 ERA and 19 strikeouts against Boston.
The Boston Red Sox come into this game looking to bounce back from an 8-1 loss at the hands of the Astros in Monday’s series opener to sit at 1-3 this season. After this series, the Red Sox will head home for a game against the San Diego Padres.
Going into Monday’s opener with Houston, Wilyer Abreu leads the Red Sox with 6 hits including 2 doubles, 2 home runs and 4 RBIs while Trevor Story has a homer and 2 RBIs and Marcelo Mayer’s added 3 hits with a pair of doubles as well. Roman Anthony has 4 hits so far this season while Carlos Narvaez has added 3 hits and Connor Wong and Andruw Monasterio each have a double.
The Houston Astros come into this game looking to add on to their win over Boston from Monday’s opening game to improve to 3-2 this season. After this series, the Astros will head on the road for a series against the Athletics.
Isaac Paredes has 3 doubles and 4 RBIs to lead the Astros while Yordan Alvarez has 4 hits with a home run, a double and two RBIs. Christian Walker has 4 hits with 3 doubles and 3 RBIs and Yainer Diaz, Jake Meyers, Carlos Correa and Christian Vazquez all have 2 RBIs as well this season.
I’m on the Astros in this one. I made a case for Boston on Monday only to have it blow up in my face as the Red Sox got blown out and I think Houston snags another win here. Bello is a solid option but I just think Brown outduels him here and the Astros get the win at home once again. Give me Houston.
