The Red Sox are coming into this game with a 1-2 record overall and they are 1-2 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. They have lost 2 of their last 3 games but are coming into this one off of a win in their last game which snapped a 2 game losing streak that they were on. They just lost their 3-game series against the New York Yankees 2-1 and they are starting a 3-game series with the Tigers in this game on Monday night. Tanner Houck was the starting pitcher for them on Sunday so Michael Wacha will be on the mound for them here on Monday. Last season, he was 3-5 with a 5.05 ERA playing for the Tampa Bay Rays. His team has lost their last 5 straight and 7 of their last 9 games with him as the starter. In his last start, he allowed 0 ER, 0 being HRs, and 1 BB with 2 Ks on 1 hits through 5 IP against the New York Yankees. They scored 11 runs in their last series averaging just under 4 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 13 runs against them averaging just over 4 runs allowed per game.

 

The Tigers are coming into this game with a 1-2 record overall and they are 1-2 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They are coming into this game on a 2 game losing streak. They just lost their 3-game series against the Chicago White Sox 2-1 and they are starting a 3-game series with the Red Sox in this game on Monday night. Tarik Skubal was the starter for them on Sunday so Matt Manning will be throwing the first pitch for them here on Monday. Last season, he was 4-7 with a 5.80 ERA as a rookie pitcher. His team has lost their last 2 games straight with him as the starter. In his last start, he allowed 0 earned runs, 0 homers, and 1 BB with 7 strikeouts on 2 hits through 5 innings played against the Chicago White Sox. They scored 8 runs in their last series averaging just under 3 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 19 runs against them averaging just under 7 runs allowed per game.

 

The Tigers are coming into this game after losing their first series to the White Sox and they are coming off of a bad loss on Sunday losing 10-1 at home. They are still at home here but going up against a Red Sox team that has lost 2 of their first 3 games to the Yankees but they did not play bad in those games. The Red Sox actually took a lead in all 3 of those games but their bullpen let them down in the first 2 games. They finally got a win on Sunday though and that should give them some confidence coming into this game. The Red Sox do not have a great bullpen this season so far but the Tigers have not been great with their pitching in that first series either and the Red Sox do have a lot of big hitters that can get them out of a sticky situation. The Red Sox are going to win this game against the Tigers and start putting a streak together here.

"I think he earned it. He was at 70-some pitches and other than the first inning he'd been able to navigate pretty efficiently. We need our starters to take on a lot of innings." - A.J. Hinch on putting Mize in the 6th inning in his team’s loss against the White Sox on Saturday afternoon.
