New York Mets vs. Boston Red Sox. The MLB pick for this game is the Boston Red Sox. The Mets performed better in July but were still five games under their season average as of Thursday.

Given that the Red Sox did not face Senga before and that he threw effectively in his most recent starts, he has an early advantage against them.

When it comes down to it, the Mets’ offensive performance did not improve despite spending a ton of money in the offseason’s free agency.

Boston’s offensive lineup produces more points, and they gain by having Thursday off so their bullpen can rest.

As they won the first game of this series, give the Red Sox the advantage. The Boston Red Sox will win by a predicted score of 6-4.
