Boston Red Sox vs Houston Astros Prediction: Sox expected to even the series

The Major League Baseball between the Boston Red Sox and Houston Astros will take place at Fenway Park. The two teams head into this one, hoping for a win. Which team wins here?

The Boston Red Sox lost 4-8 in the opener of this series, the same as their finale against the Kansas City Royals. However, the Boston Red Sox secured wins in their prior series against the Kansas City Royals, Texas Rangers, and Seattle Mariners. This season, the Boston Red Sox have a 61-53 record, leaving them 6th in the American League.

The Houston Astros started this series with a four-game run, and they can hope to keep things running. In the opener, the Houston Astros secured a 4-8 win, extending their run to three wins in a row, having defeated the Texas Rangers 4-6 and 2-4 in prior games. The Houston Astros head into this game with a 61-53 record and are seated 7th in the American League.

The Boston Red Sox should get things right here. In the opener, they were below expectations and will have to do better defensively. Yet, while the Astros do not look too good offensively, looking at their prior series, I expect this game to end with few runs.
