Boston Red Sox

The Boston Red Sox (6-7 SU, 7-6 RL, 4-8-1 O/U) recently lost a series to Toronto, but managed to take two out of three games against Baltimore. They are set to start left-hander Sean Newcomb in their upcoming game against the White Sox. Newcomb had a solid outing in his last game, allowing one run on six hits with five strikeouts. The Red Sox lineup has been improved with the addition of Alex Bregman, Jarren Duran, and Rafael Devers. They have shown potential at the plate, but may still need time to fully gel.

While they may not be considered championship contenders, the Red Sox are expected to remain competitive in the AL East. Additionally, it should be noted that Connor Wong is out for the upcoming game due to a hand injury. In power rankings, Boston is currently ranked 4 in offense, 19 in defense, and has a record of 6-7 this season.
