Red Sox vs Rays predictions
As the Boston Red Sox take on the Tampa Bay Rays, I'm expecting big things from Rafael Devers, who's been on fire lately. I think he'll come out swinging, with at least two hits and an RBI. Wilyer Abreu is another player to keep an eye on - I predict he'll get on base at least twice and score a run. Garrett Cooper is also due for a breakout game, and I think he'll come through with a clutch hit or two. And don't count out Tyler O'Neill, who's been crushing the ball lately - I think he'll go yard at least once.
On the other side, the Tampa Bay Rays have some big bats as well. I think Isaac Paredes will continue his hot streak, with at least two hits and an RBI. Yandy Diaz is another player who's been hitting well, and I predict he'll get on base at least twice. And don't sleep on Randy Arozarena, who's been a thorn in the side of opposing pitchers all season - I think he'll come through with a big hit or two. Meanwhile, Zack Littell is going to have to bring his A-game if he wants to shut down the Red Sox offense.
All things considered, I think the Red Sox have the edge in this one. Their offense has been firing on all cylinders lately, and I think they'll be able to outslug the Rays. Cooper Criswell will need to bring his best stuff to the mound, but I think he's up to the task. In the end, I'm predicting a high-scoring affair with the Red Sox coming out on top, 7-5.
