Boston Red Sox vs Tampa Bay Rays Prediction & Picks - MLB

Prediction published on 7/11/25, 3:18 PM  by Carlos Zabala | Modified on 7/24/25 at 11:23 PM in MLB Picks

At Fenway Park, a high-stakes series is unfolding between the Red Sox and the Rays. With the Red Sox's victory on Thursday, Cora's team reached 50 wins, tying the Rays' record. With the Yankees having a poor July and the Blue Jays on a roll but not favored to retain their division lead, the AL East division is far from over.

The Red Sox won a very tight baseball game against the Rays on Thursday, winning 4-3 thanks to clutch hits from Mayer, who hit an RBI double, and Rafaella, who hit a two-run single to turn the score around. For the Rays, Kim and Caminero homered, but it was not enough, and Chapman did an excellent job as closer, earning his 16th save of the season by striking out two.

Roman Anthony is having a great July, having already collected seven hits. The Red Sox are coming off an inspirational performance after sweeping the Rockies and winning six games in a row.
