Detroit Tigers vs Boston Red Sox Prediction & Picks - MLB

Prediction published on 5/30/24, 2:30 PM  by Carlos Zabala | Modified on 5/30/24 at 9:21 PM in MLB Picks

Tanner Houck continues to have a season to remember, once again showing dominance and durability in his last 3 outings. 18.2 where he only allowed 2 ER and struck out 19. However, these Houck outings have meant little to the Red Sox because they have rarely been able to turn them into wins. The right-hander's record is 4-5, having the 4th best ERA in the MLB. In Houck games, it has become a trend for the Red Sox to come out as favorites on betting sites. But they have only won in 2 of their last 5 outings. Despite the almost identical records between the Tigers and Red Sox, Boston has had an overwhelming recent dominance of the Tigers, winning them 9 of the last 10. Despite the good performances of some of their starters, the Tigers had a very high collective ERA of 4.60. However, the batting covered that deficiency in a timely manner. The 36-year-old veteran Maeda has seen a resurgence in his pitching, but as a visitor he has already had a few outings where he loses the game from the start. On the road, Maeda allowed 7 ER against Guardians, 5 against Rangers and 6 against White Sox. Despite the good performances, it is unlikely that Maeda will survive 5 innings against the Red Sox unscathed.
