The Boston Red Sox and Tampa Bay Rays face off on Monday in an MLB showdown at Tropicana Field. 

The Boston Red Sox headed into Sunday's game against the New York Yankees with a 46-39 record overall and they have lost four of their last five games. The pitching during the Yankees series wasn't great, and they need better pitching in this series. Overall this season the Red Sox’s offense has been the strength of this team averaging 4.69 runs per game which is 6th best in the league. Rafael Devers is having a big season hitting 19 home runs and driving in 51 RBIs. 

On the other side of this matchup is the Rays who sit with a 45-40 record overall but they have lost three games in a row against the Cincinnati Reds. The pitching was a big issue on Sunday giving up 10 runs, and they need a lot better pitching in this game. The Rays offense hasn’t been great this season averaging 4.12 runs per game which is 23rd in the league. Randy Arozarena has hit 10 home runs and driven in 40 RBis. 

On the mound for the Red Sox is Bryan Bello who sits with an 0-1 record and an ERA of 9.00. The Red Sox are going to need a better start out of him if they want to come away with the victory. 

The Rays are 0-5 in their last five games on Monday. The under is 5-0-1 in the Red Sox’s last six games on Monday. The over is 4-0 in the Rays last four games on Astroturf. The over is 5-1-1 in the Rays last seven games overall. The over is 4-0 in Rays last 4 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.

These are both teams who have had some struggles heading into this game but the Rays have the upper hand here. Bello sits with an ERA of 9.00 and the Rays bats are going to be strong here. Look for the Red Sox to not score enough to keep up and the Rays will secure the victory.
