Both teams are enduring a challenging run of form. The Boston Red Sox have repeatedly failed to protect their advantage late in games, while the Texas Rangers only just ended a four-game losing streak over the weekend. As a result, both clubs find themselves in the middle of the American League standings — sitting seventh and ninth respectively.
Boston Red Sox
There is a clear sense of vulnerability within the Boston Red Sox bullpen, with no lead feeling truly safe. They have blown eight save opportunities, tying them for the worst record in Major League Baseball in that category alongside the Philadelphia Phillies. Just this past Sunday, they allowed a 3:1 lead to slip away in a 4:5 defeat to the Minnesota Twins, and prior to that, they surrendered a six-run advantage in a 6:7 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays. The team has now suffered four defeats in their last five outings.
Texas Rangers
Changes are underway for the Texas Rangers. First, the demotion of Jake Burger, one of the key offseason additions, to the minor leagues sent a strong signal to the team. Then came the immediate dismissal of offensive coordinator Donnie Ecker following an 8:1 victory over the Seattle Mariners. Three-time All-Star Bret Bun has now taken over offensive responsibilities. Facing the Boston Red Sox and their inconsistent bullpen presents an ideal chance for the Texas Rangers to reset and build momentum.
Boston Red Sox vs Texas Rangers Prediction
In the opening series of the season, the Texas Rangers took three of four games against the Boston Red Sox. That same record belongs to starting pitcher Nathan Evaldi in his career meetings with the Red Sox. The pick here is a straightforward win for the Texas Rangers.
