The Texas Rangers will go for the series win today when they face the Red Sox at Fenway Park in Boston, MA, in Game 3 of a three-game series. First pitch for this game is scheduled for 1:35 p.m. EST.

Game One went to the Rangers on Tuesday, 6-1, but the Red Sox got the win last night, 6-4. Tyler Mahle had a 3-2 lead when he left the game after five innings, giving up four hits and two solo shots. But the lead didn’t last as Hoby Milner gave up three hits and a run while recording only one out. A two-RBI single by Alex Bregman in the seventh gave Boston the lead, which a Wilyer Abreu home run padded in the eighth. Aroldis Chapman gave up a home run in the ninth to Josh Jung to close out the scoring and got the save.

Texas will hand the ball to Jack Leiter to start the day. Leiter has a 2-1 record in four starts with a 4.58 ERA and 1.30 WHIP. He got his first win (4-1) against the Red Sox on March 28, giving up one hit, walk, and run in five innings of work. Boston will turn to Brayan Bello. Bello is 2-1 on the season in three starts with a 2.55 ERA and 1.19 WHIP.

Our Boston Red Sox vs Texas Rangers Prediction

Leiter has shown some promise, but the results are not consistent, and the team has already shown he has a short leash. While the Texas bullpen is not bad, it is not great either (4.04 ERA). However, while Bello has been stingy with the runs (giving up one, three, and one in his respective starts), the pen behind him is not much better (3.97 ERA). Boston has been hitting the ball really well over the last week compared to Texas (.287 BA to .262). So, I have to give the edge to the Red Sox.
