Rockies vs Red Sox Prediction

The Red Sox won six of the previous ten head-to-head encounters, and although they had an easy job in Game 1, I don’t think that will be the case on Tuesday. Kyle Freeland has improved recently and registered four quality starts of the last five. Boston is batting well against southpaws, which was evident last night against Austin Gomber, but it seems like Freeland overcame his struggles from the early season, so he could be in line for another QS here. Brayan Bello, on the other hand, emerged as one of the best Red Sox pitchers this season; only Garrett Crochet has better numbers out of the starters. Bell did allow multiple runs in four of his previous six starts, which is an opportunity for the Rox to get to him early on. Boston will likely get another W here, but the Rockies will stay close. Back the visitors to cover the run line.
