Verdict

Both teams enter Game 3 swinging the bats really well. The teams are combining to average 9.7 runs a contest in the nine games they have faced up against each other this year. That includes scoring 9 or more runs in each of the first two games of this series. Plus, the teams are averaging 13 runs in the three games at Fenway Park this year. Neither pitcher is in good form and it is unlikely Uriquidy will go that long as he hasn’t pitched in over two weeks.

Boston, which led the majors in offensive production at home this year, has hit .304 and compiled .872 OPS at Fenway Park this year. Hernandez and Devers have been in great form at the plate.
