Prediction published on 7/1/24, 8:42 PM  by Carlos Zabala | Modified on 7/1/24 at 9:21 PM in MLB Picks

The Red Sox began the season with many injuries, but Cora knew how to steer the helm in April and May so the team was always close to 500 baseball. June was the great month for the Red Sox. They increased their AVG from 234 in May to 275 in June and implemented greater aggressiveness in stealing bases, managing to steal 31 in the month. Even so, their streak of 8 straight series without losing the series ended when the Padres took games 1 and 2, scoring 20 runs in the first two games. They managed to avoid the sweep after a good performance by Winckowski and Devers' 2-run HR. Duran has been a key player for the Red Sox, he hit in all but 4 of the games in June.

Marlins return home only having won 2 games in a row in June or more only once. Only the White Sox are worse at home than the Marlins, who have a 16-23 record at loanDepot Park. The Marlins' OBP this season is the worst in the MLB with 280, and they are also the team with the fewest HRs in the MLB with only 66. A hopeful fact for them is that the Marlins swept the Red Sox at Fenway Park in 2023, winning all of them. games by 2 runs or more difference.
