The Red Sox are coming into the game to face the Astros in this game. The Red Sox are coming in after sweeping the Blue Jays in the three game set they just finished up. The Astros, though, are coming into the game after getting roughed up on the road trip they just finished up. The Astros on the road trip won 3 games on the road trip, but dropped 4 and that includes the Yankees on Wednesday night roughing up Kuechel.
The Red Sox have found what they may consider to be the new face of the power hitting for the team in J.D. Martinez. Martinez on the season so far has managed to hit 18 homers with 47 runners brought home, but what is really good for Martinez is he is hitting at a clip of .322.
Gerrit Cole is the pitcher the Astros are countering with in this game. Cole on the year has posted a total of 74.2 innings and struck out 109 batters. He has managed to get a 5-1 record while getting an ERA of 2.05.

The Red Sox are playing at the top of their game heading into Houston. This is going to be a great counter compared to the Astros who have been struggling recently, granted it was on the road, but the Yankees managed to beat the Astros up pretty good in the last game. The Astros offense has also been flat lately and that will make a difference for the team. Look for the Red Sox to have a dominate performance from Sale in this game. Final Score Prediction, Boston Red Sox win 4-2.
