Texas Rangers vs Boston Red Sox Prediction
The Red Sox have been the better team overall, so they’re going to get the benefit of the doubt, but they’ve also lost five of their last six games. Houck is coming off a flawless performance against the Blue Jays, but he’s still allowed 42 hits and 26 earned runs in 36.2 innings. No, thanks. The Rangers are having a strong week, and Mahle has allowed 21 hits and four runs in his last 36 innings. While he may not get much national attention, Mahle has been arguably the best starting pitcher since April. Mahle has the third-best ERA and the 12th-best WHIP in baseball. I’ll gladly take the Rangers and the even money.
