The Seattle Mariners and Boston Red Sox face off on Saturday in an MLB showdown at Fenway Park. The Red Sox have won the first two games of this series and done so in a convincing fashion. The Red Sox scored 12 runs in the first game and seven on Friday night. 

The Red Sox currently sit with a 17-22 record overall, but it looks like they might finally be turning their season around in the right direction. The Red Sox’s offense is ranked 17th in the league so the last few games has been quite the difference-maker in this game. Trevor Story got out to a slow start but he is picking it up as of late and overall he has hit six home runs and driven in 27 RBIs. 

On the other side of this matchup is the Mariners who sit with a 17-23 record overall and it’s been the pitching that has been a major issue in the first two games of this series. Overall this season the Mariners are giving up 4.40 runs per game which isn’t good enough for them to be competitive this season. Ty France has been the top offensive player hitting six home runs and driving in 28 RBIs. 

On the mound for the Mariners is Chris Flexen who sits with a 1-6 record and an ERA of 4.35. In his last start against the Toronto Blue Jays, he went 5.1 innings giving up six hits and three runs. 

On the mound for the Red Sox is Garrett Whitlock who sits with a 1-1 record and an ERA of 2.43. In his last start against the Astros, he went five innings giving up three hits and two runs. 

The Mariners are 0-4 in Flexen’s last four starts. The under is 6-0 in Flexen’s last six road starts. The under is 4-0 in Flexen’s last four starts against the American League East. The Under is 4-0 in Flexens last 4 starts following a team loss in their previous game.

The Red Sox’s bats have been quite impressive in the first two games of this series, and I expect they will continue the success in this game. Flexen has a 1-6 record and sits with an ERA of 4.35. The Red Sox are going to tee off on him, and Boston will win this game on the run line.
