Our Tampa Bay Rays vs Boston Red Sox Prediction
The Red Sox will claim the win in Game 1.
Aside from shutting down Tampa Bay's offense a few weeks ago, Early has only allowed two earned runs over 11 innings pitched against the Rays. Tampa Bay is hitting .160 with 3.3 runs per game against left-handed pitchers in their last 10 games.
The decision to start Seymour, who allowed three earned runs in his last mound appearance, could hurt the Rays’ chances to win this game. Tampa Bay is 0-3 in Seymour’s last three stints, which serves as a warning sign for bettors who will fall into the Rays +100 moneyline trap.
