Tampa Bay Rays (94-60) and Boston Red Sox (84-71) will wrap up their three-game series on Sunday afternoon at Tropicana Field. The Rays have already clinched a playoff position, although they’re still in a fierce battle with the Yankees to win the AL East division. They bounced back from the 4-2 series-opener defeat to edge out the Red Sox 2-1 on Saturday. The Rays will want to win their final homestand ahead of the playoffs. They’re the -160 betting favorites this afternoon.
Boston Red Sox, on the other side of the grass, will come into this grueling contest as the +120 betting underdogs. The Red Sox are third in the AL East and are still firmly in the race to clinch a playoff berth. A win today will improve their chances of securing their first consecutive postseason appearance since the 2016-2018. The celebrations could begin if both Texas and Houston lose their assignments today.

Our Tampa Bay Rays vs Boston Red Sox Prediction
We’re backing Tampa Bay Rays to win because of their impressive run at home this season. The hosts have gone 54-26 under their lights this season, the league's best home record. Griffin Jax also provides them with a solid base to build on in this matchup. The right-hander has a 7-10 record with a commendable 3.80 ERA. He has had his lowest ERA in a season in his last two assignments, recording an ERA of 0.90. Boston Red Sox will start Patrick Sandoval, who has a 1-6 record with a 4.99 ERA this season. The left-handed pitcher is coming off three straight defeats while averaging an ERA of 7.82. He’s clearly the risk factor for the visitors in this matchup.
Our prediction for Tampa Bay Rays vs Boston Red Sox: Tampa Bay Rays to win.
