After a disappointing weekend, the Boston Red Sox will look to bounce back this Tuesday when they host the Texas Rangers, who also had plenty of struggles in their previous series.

Texas Rangers vs Boston Red Sox: Under 8.5

Although the Red Sox’s offensive numbers are excellent, their production has been quite inconsistent, as they showed over the weekend, so they will surely have trouble scoring runs against a Nathan Eovaldi who has allowed only 1 run in his last two starts (12.0 innings) and who has an ERA of 2.11. For their part, the Rangers have struggled to be effective on offense, averaging just 3.23 runs scored per game, the second-lowest amount in MLB, so this will be a good opportunity for Lucas Giolito, who will make his second start of the year. With both offenses struggling, the best option is to expect a low-scoring game.

Injuries for Texas Rangers:

Texas Rangers vs Boston Red Sox: Rangers

Although the Rangers’ offense has been terrible this season, they could have a chance to be a little better here, as Giolito is just in the process of recovering and the Red Sox’s bullpen has been quite deficient. Also, with Eovaldi, they have a guarantee on the mound, so we expect they can take the victory in a game that will be very close until the end.

Texas Rangers vs Boston Red Sox Prediction

This matchup will be a good pitching duel, where the Rangers will have a slight advantage due to Eovaldi’s presence; however, their offense forces us to trust that this game will have a low-scoring total.
