Free Sports Game Preview and Prediction: Boston Red Sox vs. Houston Astros
Wednesday, August 23, 2023 8:10 PM
Play: Money Line: 106 Boston Red Sox
Boston comes in off back-to-back losses so they will likely be motivated today. Chris Sale is not the pitcher he used to be, however he has been pitching well, with a 3.55 ERA and 0.95 whip in his last three outings. Jose Urquidy (2-3, 5.21 ERA) starts for Houston on Wednesday. He just came back off the IL, and threw two scoreless innings in relief on Friday, with three strikeouts in the Astros 2-0 loss to Seattle. Urquidy gave up six runs in 10 1/3 innings over those three outings. We like Boston to bounce-back here today and note that they have not dropped three games in a row since earlier this month. Let's roll with the Red Sox today.
