Red Sox vs Rangers Preview

The Boston Red Sox will start Garrett Crochet on the mound. Crochet, a left-handed pitcher, showed strong performances in spring training. In his most recent game against the Pittsburgh Pirates, he pitched over five innings without allowing any runs. He also struck out nine batters in that outing.

The Texas Rangers will counter with Nathan Eovaldi. Eovaldi, a right-handed pitcher, had mixed results in spring training. His latest game against the Los Angeles Angels saw him give up one run over four innings. Both pitchers will look to set the tone for their teams as the regular season begins at Globe Life Field.

Texas Rangers: Ready for the Season Opener

Joc Pederson had a strong spring training for the Texas Rangers. He played 15 games, hitting a batting average of .256. Pederson led the league in home runs with 5 and RBIs with 15. Corey Seager also had a good spring. He played 18 games, with a batting average of .250. Seager is dealing with calf soreness but is expected to play. Leody Taveras played 20 games during spring training. His batting average was .196, but he hit 4 home runs. Taveras also scored 9 runs, tying for second in the league.

Boston Red Sox: Spring Training Highlights

Trayce Thompson had a strong spring training for the Red Sox. He played 19 games and had a batting average of .278. Thompson hit 6 home runs and drove in 13 runs, leading the league in both categories. David Hamilton also contributed during spring training. He played 21 games with a batting average of .260. Hamilton hit 2 home runs and scored 10 runs, placing him third in the league for runs scored. Alex Bregman was another key player for the Red Sox. He played 17 games and had a batting average of .279. Bregman hit 3 home runs and drove in 10 runs, ranking third in the league for RBIs.

Final Betting Pick

Choosing the Rangers on the money line at -102 seems like a solid pick. Nathan Eovaldi’s performance in spring training has been promising. He has shown he can limit runs, which is important in early season games. The Rangers’ lineup, with players like Joc Pederson, has also shown strength in spring training, adding to their potential for success.

The under 7.5 at -103 is another strong choice. Both starting pitchers, Garrett Crochet and Nathan Eovaldi, have demonstrated they can keep runs low in their recent outings. Crochet’s ability to strike out batters and Eovaldi’s control over hits and walks suggest a low-scoring game. This aligns well with the under prediction, making it a reasonable option for bettors.
