Picks and Predictions for the Red Sox vs Guardians
Red Sox ML (+100)
The Cleveland starter will be Logan Allen, who will be throwing on an MLB mound for just the second time in his career. The 24-year-old lefty threw very well in his home start against Miami Marlins: six innings, one run, and a whopping eight strikeouts. Can he duplicate that performance at Fenway? The Red Sox have one of the best offenses in the league, so they should be able to challenge him.
Meanwhile, Chris Sale will be on the bump for the Red Sox. He has not been at his best over the last few seasons, but he has been better at home for Boston. Cleveland’s offense has been spotty, so Sale and the Red Sox pitching staff might be able to get some more home cooking going. If he does, he should be able to get that run support needed for his second win of the season. Take Boston as the slight underdog in this.
