Verdict

Boston is not in-form and while the Red Sox have one of the best offenses in the game, the Red Sox have struggled against Seattle pitching hitting just .238. While the Sox are only an average team (.242, 15th in the majors) hitting on the road they are productive against left-handers (.755 OPS).

Houck is facing the Mariners for the first time ever, however, he has posted a (4.12 ERA) on the road and 4.08 ERA during day games – both numbers are worse than his numbers at home and at night. Moreover, Boston is just 24-28 in day games.

Seattle is also not in-form and struggle mightily at the plate at home (.211). The Mariners have been swinging the bat better over the last week and they have hit Red Sox pitching (.238) better than most of the league’s pitching staff.
 
Gonzalez is facing the Red Sox for the first time this season, but he has not fared well against several members of Boston’s team in his career. However, he has pitched decently well at home (3.74 ERA) and during the day (3.22). The Mariners have won each of Gonzales’ last six starts.

Seattle and Boston have combined to score nine runs in five of their six meetings this year and the teams average 10 runs per game for the season.
