Cincinnati Reds vs Boston Red Sox Prediction

Martinez is heading in the wrong direction, which includes allowing 29 hits and 18 runs in his last 29.1 innings. In 46.2 road innings, Martinez has a 4.82 ERA and .291 allowed batting average. I’m not confident in what I’m seeing from Martinez. Bello is showing why he was a highly touted player a couple of years ago, as he’s allowed just 10 earned runs in his last 31.1 innings. With a 3.41 ERA on the season, this is some of the best we’ve seen from Bello. We have two pitchers heading in opposite directions. Give me the Red Sox.
