Boston has won their last four games that Crochet has started and holds a 10-6 record when he pitches. The Red Sox have a .249 batting average overall this season, ranking 13th in the league.

Los Angeles Angels Analysis

The Los Angeles Angels currently sit in fourth place in the American League West division, seven games behind the Astros. Despite struggling at home with a below .500 record, they are just two games out of a wild card spot. Tyler Anderson holds a 2-5 record with a 4.56 ERA in 15 starts, with a 2.75 ERA at home. The team's hitting performance has been subpar, ranking second worst in the league with the third fewest hits and second most strikeouts. Overall, the Angels have a power ranking of 20 and are ranked 22nd in offense and 24th in defense, with a record of 37-40. In their last three matchups, Boston went 2-1 against Los Angeles.

Garrett Crochet Expected to Lead Red Sox to Victory Against the Angels on Tuesday

Tuesday's game will likely be determined by the skill and performance of Garrett Crochet, who has been a standout player for the Red Sox this season, particularly on the road where he boasts an impressive 2.25 ERA. Given his strong track record, I anticipate a victory for the Red Sox in what is expected to be a low-scoring game. The Angels have struggled offensively, with a batting average of just .221 at home and .222 against AL East teams. In contrast, the Red Sox have won four consecutive games when Crochet has taken the mound, further indicating a likely win for Boston. Conversely, the Angels have lost four out of five games started by Tyler Anderson. With these factors in mind, it is advisable to place your bet on the Red Sox to cover in Tuesday's game.
