Boston Red Sox vs Tampa Bay Rays 3/22/2022 Picks Predictions Previews

The Boston Red Sox will go against the Tampa Bay Rays in MLB action in Charlotte Sports Park Port Charlotte, FL, on Tuesday, March 22, 2022, at 1:05 PM ET. One mantra should guide the Red Sox in 2022: “Keep it going.”

Last year, they were overlooked and undervalued, yet they ended up with 92 wins and a postseason berth, defeating the Yankees and Rays before dropping two matches short of the World Series.

They re-ignited Fenway Park in the process, with loud fans giving their playoff run more of a 2004 vibe than even their 2018 championship. Maintaining such momentum in the early phases of reconstruction will be difficult. They won’t be sneaking up on anyone again, for starters.

For example, the Rays are still a force to be reckoned with; the Blue Jays appear to be on the verge of breaking out; and the Yankees always manage to find a way. The Red Sox rode a flexible squad to unforeseen heights, well exceeding the sum of its parts. It’s worth repeating that success isn’t guaranteed.

The Red Sox hitters come up with creative methods to celebrate hits. They waved into the dugout for half a season in honor of former teammate Franchy Cordero, who initiated the custom. However, as the offense struggled in the second half, they resorted to further positive reinforcement in the form of the checkmark, using the motion to denote a successful at-bat.

Checkmarks were not given to bloops and bleeders, but they were given to those who worked the count, moved runners, or lacing line drives.

The Red Sox are 3-2 in their last 5 matches.
Boston is 23-12 in their previous 35 road matches against the spread.
The totals went OVER in 18 of the Red Sox’s 36 last matches at home.

Boston Red Sox vs Tampa Bay Rays Predictions 3/22/2022

The Rays made the playoffs in three consecutive seasons, claimed two consecutive American League East titles, and are returning from a franchise-record 100-game season.

They believe they can perform even better in 2022 and the years ahead, given their good trajectory and a nucleus of great young players who are progressing and more on the way.

The Rays won’t be the same in 2022 — they seldom are, as they appear to be constantly tweaking and churning the roster with a dual focus on the present and the future — but they may be just as good, if not better.

They signed free-agent starter Corey Kluber and pitcher Brooks Raley, traded All-Star infielder Joey Wendle to Miami, and made a series of minor transactions before the lockout. They’ll be active again once a new labor contract is in place, looking for a right-handed bat (ideally proven and with some positional flexibility) and bullpen depth.

The Tampa Bay Rays are 0-5 in their previous 5 games.
The Rays are 25-13 in their previous 38 road matches against the spread.
The totals went OVER in 15 of the Rays’ 33 previous games at home.

Boston Red Sox vs Tampa Bay Rays. The MLB pick for this game is the Tampa Bay Rays. However, with their youthful potential and depth, the Rays are sure that they will continue their run as a postseason contender, inspired even more by their 2021 first-round exit.

Consider the fact that three of their players received votes for Rookie of the Year in the American League, as well as the roles they play. The Tampa Bay Rays will win to a predicted score of 4-3.
