Texas Rangers at Boston Red Sox Preview & Picks

The Over is tipped to cash in another high-scoring game between Texas and Boston.

These two starting pitchers gave up a bunch of runs during the previous series between the two teams, and more of the same is likely here.

  • Texas pitcher Joe Urena gave up 7 runs in his last game against Boston
  • Boston starter Kutter Crawford allowed 4 home runs in his last meeting with Texas
  • The Over has cashed in each of the last 5 meetings
  • Boston Red Sox are 3-1 when facing Texas this season

Head To Head

  • Boston Red Sox lead the regular season series 3-1
  • Boston Red Sox won 5-4 when the two teams last met on August 12

Texas Rangers Form

Texas headed to Boston on a rough run of form, having won just four of their previous 15 games.

The Rangers enjoyed a five-game win streak after the season-resumed, but they were swept in a three-game series in Toronto and that sparked a downturn.

They failed to build on a 6-3 win in St Louis as they lost the final two meetings 7-3, and they then returned home and sandwiched a 7-4 win over Boston with 11-6 and 7-2 defeats.

Texas then made a winning start to the series with Houston, taking the opener 4-3, but they again failed to back up a win as they lost the next two games, 4-2 and 6-4.

The Rangers then travelled to the New York and lost 8-0 and 8-7 to the Yankees either side of a 9-4 victory.

Boston Red Sox Form

Boston entered this series having just been swept by Houston to see their current losing skid reach four games.

The Red Sox wrapped up July with a 3-2 victory at home to Seattle, and began August with an 11-6 win over Texas.

They failed to make it three-in-a-row as they then lost 7-4 to the Rangers, but they did at least issue an immediate response in the form of a 7-2 win.

Boston backed that up with 9-5 and 6-5 wins in Kansas City, only to miss out on the sweep with an 8-4 defeat that began this four-game skid.

The Red Sox returned home to end last week with a three-game series against Houston, and they suffered 8-4, 5-4 and 10-2 defeats. 

Verdict

These two teams have tended to go over the total in recent meetings, and with two struggling pitchers on show we expect that trend to continue.
