Trends
Seattle is 7-2 in their last 9 road games and 10-5 in their last 15 games. The under is 7-3 in Seattle’s last 10 Wednesday games. Boston is 6-13 in their last 19 Wednesday games and 1-4 in their last 5 games. The over is 8-1 in Boston’s last 9 home games. The over is 22-5 in these two teams last 27 head to head meetings.
Pick
Both teams have won a game so far in this series, but Seattle is trending in the better direction. Boston has struggled in recent games and their pitching staff has not been good. The Red Sox will start Brayan Bello in this game, who started the year poorly, but has only allowed five earned runs over his last 16.0 innings of work. Seattle is starting Marco Gonzales, who has allowed 10 earned runs over his last 15.0 innings pitched. We have seen two high scoring games to start this series and I think we will see another one here. I am taking the over.
