Boston Red Sox vs New York Mets Prediction & Picks - MLB

Prediction published on 9/2/24, 7:55 PM  by Edgar Jibran | Modified on 9/5/24 at 1:03 AM in MLB Picks

The MLB schedule will bring such an interesting Inter-League match between New York Mets and Boston Red Sox to be disputed at 05:10 pm Central Time next Tuesday, September 03rd. This one corresponds to the second game of the series between them, so the main expectation is having a very even match as both teams need to win it.

In this regard, New York Mets is in the third spot of the NL East Division, currently 8.0 games behind Philadelphia Phillies, but only 1 game behind the Wild Card spots. Taking that into consideration, makes evident that the expectation for the rest of the season is to keep Francisco Lindor and Pete Alonso on a great level, as they’ve cooperated with 94 runs and 30 home runs, respectively throughout the season.

Meanwhile, Boston Red Sox is also in the third spot of its division, but their scenario is even more difficult compared to the Mets, as they’re 9 games behind New York Yankees in the AL East Division and 4.5 games behind the Wild Card spots. For that reason, it completely makes sense to have Kutter Crawford as the most probable opener pitcher for this match, as they’re needing a very solid pitching during the early stages of the match.
