Trends
Cleveland is 8-1 in their last 9 Friday games and 20-8 in their last 28 road games. The under is 8-1 in Cleveland’s last 9 games. Boston is 5-0 in their last 5 games following a loss and 5-2 in their last 7 home games. The over is 4-0 in Boston’s last 4 home games. The over is 10-4-2 in these two teams last 16 head to head meetings in Boston.
Pick
Cleveland comes into this game really struggling on offense and they only scored five runs in their series with Colorado. Boston has hit the ball better than Cleveland, but the Red Sox pitching staff has been roughed up. Cleveland will start Shane Bieber, who has allowed three earned runs or fewer in five straight starts. The Red Sox will start Nick Pivetta, who has allowed nine earned runs over his last 9.2 innings pitched. I like the Guardians with Bieber on the mound.
