Boston Red Sox vs Detroit Tigers. The MLB pick for this game is the Boston Red Sox. The first week of the season was not great for either team, but that’s about where the parallels end.

In addition to being better than what we saw last season and during the opening week of the 2023 season, the Red Sox have some elite talent.

Detroit’s rebuilding process is still ongoing because the city has a large number of young people to build its future on.

If the young players live up to expectations, the Tigers have a bright future, but their pitching staff needs to improve if they are to keep the team afloat.

With its victory on Thursday, Boston demonstrated their ability to record victories. Expect Houck to contribute while Boston’s hitters lead them to a second consecutive victory. The Boston Red Sox will win to a predicted score of 7-2.
