Free Sports Game Preview and Prediction: Boston Red Sox vs. Tampa Bay Rays
Thursday, October 07, 2021 8:07 PM
Play: Money Line: -150 Tampa Bay Rays
The Rays won 11 of the last 15 meetings with Boston, and they have the pitching edge in Game 1. Boston had to use Nathan Eovaldi in the Wild Card game so they turn to Eduardo Rodriguez tonight, who's been shaky the last 2 months with a 6.24 ERA. Tampa Bay counters with rookie Shane McClanahan who has been lights out over his last 17 starts (3.01 ERA). And in three starts against Boston this season, the lefty posted a 2.81 ERA with 18 strikeouts in 16 innings. The Rays are 38-13 in their last 51 games as home favorites and we'll back TB here on Thursday night at the Trop.
