Seattle Mariners vs Boston Red Sox Predictions 5/16/2023

Boston outperformed expectations thus far this season, but following a three-game home sweep by St. Louis, it is currently in last place in the AL East.

Is this squad back in the right place? Boston is third in both runs per game average (5.51) and batting average (.267) with a .783 OPS.

This year, it hit 51 long balls, ranking 10th, and swiped 26 bags, ranking 20th. With nine quality starts, the Red Sox pitching rotation has a 27th-place 5.02 ERA and a 22nd-place 1.36 WHIP.

In game two, the Sox’s pitcher was Pivetta. In his previous start, the right-hander only managed to complete four innings while leaving 12 runners on base and allowing seven earned runs.

In his previous start, Pivetta, who has a 36:15 K:BB ratio this year, did manage to win by limiting Toronto to three runs on six hits over the course of six innings.

The Boston Red Sox are 1-4 in their last 5 matches against the spread.
The Boston Red Sox are 11-7 in their road matches against the spread.
The totals went OVER in 2 of the Red Sox’ last 5 matches.

Seattle Mariners vs Boston Red Sox. The MLB pick for this game is the Seattle Mariners. The Mariners are 4-0 in their previous four away games against right-handed starters, while the Red Sox are 0-4 in their last four games.

Seattle is 5-1 in its last six games against starters with a WHIP higher than 1.30, 6-1 in its last seven away games, and 5-1 in its last six matches on the road with the total set at 9.0-10.5.

Boston lost four of its previous five games overall, going 1-4 when the total is set between 9.0 and 10.5.

In his lone start against Boston last year, Castillo held the Red Sox scoreless while striking out 10 batters and allowing just one hit.

He made that appearance while playing for the Cincinnati Reds; tomorrow, he’ll have a better-supporting cast.

This season, Seattle averaged 4.7 runs per game at home and 4.6 runs per game on the road, with stronger splits versus righties than lefties.

Pivetta, a starter who at most performs averagely, is returning from a disastrous performance against Atlanta (four innings, seven runs, eight hits, and three walks).

The Red Sox dropped five of their past six games, and they were just swept at home by the deplorable Cardinals. The Seattle Mariners will win to a predicted score of 6-2.
