Boston Red Sox vs Detroit Tigers Prediction

I’ll go with Boston. If all goes well, the Red Sox should get a decent opening out of Criswell. He’s posted two earned runs over his last two appearances in 8.0 combined innings on nine hits and four walks.

On Saturday Boston had a pretty miserable night at the plate, logging just four hits and one walk. The lone run came from Tyler O’Neill’s solo homer in the first inning. Still, if the Sox can get the bats going Sunday they should have a good shot at redemption.
