It's shaping up to be a tight contest, with the Red Sox narrowly missing out on victory in last night's game due to a string of costly errors. However, with Cooper Criswell (2-1, 2.10 ERA) set to take the mound, Boston fans can expect a strong rebound. Criswell has been in fine form this season, consistently keeping opponents to two runs or fewer in each of his six appearances, including an impressive nine-strikeout display against the Cleveland Guardians.
Boston's offense remains a bright spot, boasting a .711 OPS and tallying over 43 home runs so far. If Criswell can maintain his form deep into the game, it could put the Red Sox in a favorable position against the Rays' shaky bullpen. Tampa's relievers have struggled, sporting a 4.54 ERA (25th) and a 1.36 WHIP (21st), highlighting their vulnerability.
Furthermore, historical trends don't favor the Rays, who have struggled after wins as underdogs since the 2022 season, posting a 14-33 record (.298) – the lowest in the MLB. Take the RedSox to even up this series tonight!
