Boston Red Sox vs Miami Marlins Prediction
I’ll stay with the Red Sox, but in reality I’m probably not touching it. Bello needs a good bounce-back effort here after a rough start in his last appearance. Bello managed seven earned in 2.1 innings during a loss to the Blue Jays on June 25. As for Rogers, he hasn’t been too bad lately with seven earned over his last three starts in 19.1 innings total.
On Tuesday the Red Sox were pretty hot from the very beginning and had an exceptional night on offense. Everyone in the lineup had at least one hit. I like Boston to stay hot Wednesday if Bello can notch a quality outing.
