Result: Loss
Boston is 3-8 their last 11 on the road and still have not won back-to-back games since the beginning of April.
Boston has lost four out of the last five on the road against Texas and the Red Sox have lost six of the last seven overall. The Red Sox are struggling to score with only 107 runs which is 28th in the majors and much of that is due to Boston having a poor slugging percentage that is 26th. Texas Rangers starting pitcher Glenn Otto has made just three starts this season but is a respectable 1-0 with an ERA of 3.14. Texas has won two of Otto’s 3 starts and the right-hander has allowed a combined eight hits and five runs in 14 ⅓ innings pitched.
Less than stellar bats and the inability to sustain runs puts them behind in the game, I don't know what it is going to take for Boston to develop something better than what they have displayed this season.
The Rangers have won seven of the last 10 overall so we'll back the Texas Rangers here to get the win on Saturday night!
