Next Sunday is going to bring an amazing closure for the MLB series between Boston Red Sox and Washington Nationals, teams that aren’t crossing through their best moment of the season, so these kinds of matches are an obligation for them to try to get closer to the Wild Card spots in their respective Leagues.

When looking at Boston Red Sox’s performance, they’re in the ninth spot of the American League with a record of 20W-19L, but their most recent victory over Washington Nationals in the second game of their series was truly important to cut off with a streak of 3 consecutive losses. Also, the standings appear to be playing on their side as they’ve a record of 8-5 against Inter-League teams.

In addition, Washington Nationals have a similar tendence compared to the Red Sox (19W-19L), but the bad performance from the National League teams have allowed them to be in the sixth spot. Nonetheless, their offensive level is the second worst from the NL East Division, as they have been only able to score 158 runs throughout the season.

Boston Red Sox - Washington Nationals Key Points

  1. Boston Red Sox at home, they are the worst team from the AL East Division with a record of 8W-10L, but they, at least, were able to cut off with a streak of 2 losses in a row after their 4-2 victory over the Nationals.
  2. Washington Nationals as visitors, won only 2 of their last 5 away disputed matches, performance that isn’t promising enough for a team that isn’t far from the top of the National League.
  3. Boston Red Sox at home in direct duels against the Nationals, won 3 of their last 5 MLB confrontations, scoring 4 or more runs in them.
  4. The last time that Washington Nationals scored less than 3 runs in an MLB match, was in July 2000, so they lost a very long streak after being defeated in Game 2 (4-2).

Our Boston Red Sox vs Washington Nationals Prediction

To sum up, the series between these two teams is going to offer a great Game 3 as both teams are forced to win to avoid increasing their Wild Card Behind Games, pressure that is higher on Boston Red Sox as they already are 3 games behind, so the pick for Boston Red Sox – Washington Nationals is: Over 7.5 Runs!

Prediction:

 

Over 7.5 Runs
