Mariners vs Red Sox Prediction
The Red Sox have won six of the previous ten H2H encounters, including four of the last five. Because of the pitching matchup, I am backing the Red Sox to win again on Wednesday. Hancock is a rather inexperienced major league pitcher and could struggle at Fenway Park, while Sean Newcomb has a favorable matchup against Seattle, which has a .212 BA in 217 at-bats against southpaws this season. Newcomb didn’t allow a single hit in 14 at-bats against the Mariners so far in his career. Back the Red Sox.
