The Boston Red Sox and Texas Rangers meet on Saturday in MLB action at the Globe Life Field. Here’s a Boston Red Sox vs Texas Rangers Prediction. This article will include a Boston Red Sox vs Texas Rangers Pick.
Boston Red Sox Betting Preview
The Boston Red Sox play the Orioles, Cardinals, and Blue Jays next. The Red Sox are coming off a poor performance Friday where the offense scored one run and finished 3-11 with runners in scoring position. The Red Sox are batting .209 and have struck out 20 times through two games. It’s still early in the season, but you expect better from this Red Sox offense, given the names in the lineup. Wilyer Abreu leads the Boston Red Sox with 5 hits and 5 RBI, while Jarren Duran and Kristian Campbell have combined for 6 hits.
Walker Buehler gets the ball for the Red Sox, and he was 1-6 with a 5.38 ERA and 64 strikeouts last season. Buehler is 1-1 with a 2.40 ERA and 11 strikeouts in his career against the Rangers.
Texas Rangers Betting Preview
The Texas Rangers will play the Reds, Rays, and Cubs next. The Rangers bounced back nicely on Friday with strong performances from their lineup and pitching staff. The Rangers' pitching staff has shown up through two games, posting a 3.00 ERA, 1.06 WHIP, and 20 strikeouts. The Rangers have won 15 of their last 17 regular-season games when allowing less than five runs. Josh Jung leads the Texas Rangers with 3 hits and 1 RBI, while Jonah Heim and Wyatt Langford have combined for 4 hits and 2 RBI.
Tyler Mahle gets the ball for the Rangers, and he was 0-1 with a 4.97 ERA and 10 strikeouts last season. This will be Mahle’s second career game against the Red Sox.
Why the Texas Rangers will win
- The Rangers have won each of their last four night games against American League opponents.
- The Red Sox have lost each of their last three night games against American League opponents.
- The Rangers have covered the run line in seven of their last eight night games against AL East opponents following a home win.
- The Red Sox have failed to cover the run line in five of their last six games against AL West opponents following a loss.
- The Rangers have led after 5 innings in three of their last four night games.
Why the Boston Red Sox will win
- The Red Sox have won each of their last six night games against the Rangers following a road loss.
- The Rangers have lost three of their last four games as favorites against the Red Sox following a win.
- The Red Sox have covered the run line in nine of their last 10 games as road underdogs against AL West opponents.
- The Rangers have failed to cover the run line in each of their last four night games against the Red Sox following a win.
Boston Red Sox vs Texas Rangers Prediction
The Rangers have shown up on the mound through two games, but I don’t have a lot of confidence in Mahle, given the small sample size going back to last season. Walker Buehler is coming off his worst season yet, but I believe a change of scenery could do wonders for him. Buehler should be eager to make a strong impression with his new team, and he was a top-five finisher for the NL CY Young in 2022. Buehler was strong in spring training, allowing seven hits and two earned runs through 10 innings while striking out 11. This has a chance to be a strong bounce-back season for Buehler. The Red Sox and the cheap price has to be one of the stronger MLB plays for Saturday.
