Boston Red Sox

The Boston Red Sox are heading to Houston after a hot streak has put them securely in one of the three AL Wildcard spots. Despite a loss in their last game against the San Diego Padres, the Red Sox have been one of the hottest teams in baseball over the last month and a half. They will rely on ace pitcher Garrett Crochet, who has had a stellar Cy Young season with a 13-4 record and an impressive ERA of 2.24. The team is dealing with several key injuries, including RP Luis Guerrero, 3B Marcelo Mayer, RP Justin Slaten, and RP Josh Winckowski.

Houston Astros

The Houston Astros came out of a tough series against the New York Yankees this weekend, taking two out of three games. Despite facing some challenges with a limited number of healthy starters, the team managed to secure wins with strong performances from key players like Jose Altuve and Carlos Correa. The addition of pitcher Spencer Arrighetti has provided some relief, although he has been pushed back to Wednesday for extra rest. In the meantime, the Astros have considered bringing up righty AJ Blubaugh to fill in as needed. Key players, including Luis Garcia, Yordan Alvarez, and Jake Meyers, remain sidelined with injuries.

Boston Red Sox Primed for Victory in Monday Night's Game with Top Pitcher Crochet Dominating on the Mound

The Boston Red Sox are poised for success on the mound in Monday night's game, with Crochet scheduled to pitch against an as yet to be named starter for the Houston Astros. Crochet has demonstrated outstanding performance in his last five starts, leading the league in wins and strikeouts. Furthermore, the Red Sox recently completed a three-game sweep of the Astros at Fenway Park. With Boston's strong lineup and Crochet's pitching prowess, they are likely to have an advantage in this bullpen game. A victory for the Red Sox is highly probable, making them a favorable choice for the money line.
