The Boston Red Sox and the Cleveland Guardians kick off their weekend series on Friday at Progressive Field.
The Red Sox are 2-3 in their last five games, including back-to-back losses to the Seattle Mariners this week. Boston parades strong batting numbers, averaging .244 at the plate with 124 runs. Unfortunately, they fall in the lower half of the league with an ERA of 4.06.
The Guardians had their five-game win streak snapped on Wednesday after a 1-5 loss to the New York Yankees. Nevertheless, Cleveland got 2 wins out of 3 games in that series to up their record to 14-10. The Guardians are batting .235 with 96 runs and pitching a 3.94 ERA this season. They will be sending Ben Lively (1-2, 3.86 ERA) to the mound to go up against Red Sox’s starter Tanner Houck (0-2, 7.66 ERA).

Our Boston Red Sox vs Cleveland Guardians Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Guardians draw first blood behind another strong outing from Ben Lively.
Ben Lively has scored two shutouts in his last three starts, including a five-inning shutdown of the Pirates on April 19. I expect Lively to pitch strongly against a team he’s averaging 2.0 earned runs over his last three starts. Houck carries a 7.66 ERA largely because of her miserable stint vs. Tampa Bay on April 14, in which he allowed 11 earned runs in 2.1 innings pitched. Moreover, Cleveland is 4-1 SU in its last five games when playing against Boston and 5-4 against the spread at home. Our betting prediction for the Cleveland Guardians vs. Boston Red Sox: Guardians -1.5 Runs.
