Traditionally, the American League East is usually one of the toughest if not the toughest Divisions in baseball. And right now, the Boston Red Sox sit in third place in the division, 10.0-games back, at 40-36. They have started to show signs of life, winning seven of their last nine outings. There was a time when they were virtually unbeatable at home, But over the last few seasons we have seen them struggle when playing at Fenway Park. This season is no different, as they are just 18-20 at home in 2024. However, they are playing very solid baseball on the road, sporting a 22-16 away record. They have to come here a little miffed after yesterday's loss. The 5-2 defeat on the road at the hands of the Cincinnati Reds in Game 1 of this series, ended their five-game win streak. I expect them to be fired up and looking for a vengeance here in Game 2. The Cincinnati Reds also play in a competitive Division. They currently sit in third place in the National League Central, 7.5- games back, at 36-39, tied with the Pittsburgh Pirates. They are .500 at Great America Ball Park this season, at 19-19. It is true, the Reds have taken four of the last five meetings with the Red Sox. But overall, in the last 10 matchups, these teams have split out. Both at the plate and on the mound, the BoSox outclass Cincy. Their offense averages nearly a half-run more per game, while their pitching staff has a lower ERA. Speaking of pitching, today Nick Pivetta and Frankie Montas are slated. The Boston right-hander is 4-4 with a 3.88 ERA in 2024. But he seems to be getting stronger as the season has progressed. Over his last three outings, he is 2-0 with a 3.50 ERA, and his ERA on the road this season shrinks down even more to just 3.21. In seven appearances, which includes three starts against Cincinnati, he is a very respectable 1-1 with a 2.92 ERA. The Reds right-hander is 3-5 with a 4.62 ERA this season. Over his last three outings, he has gotten lit up, as his ERA is 4.72. And at home he is a dismal, 1-4 with a 4.35 ERA. The Red Sox are clearly a better road team than they are at home, and are looking for a little vengeance after a series-opening loss yesterday. Take Boston. Thank you.
