The Boston Red Sox takes on the Seattle Mariners in MLB action. The Red Sox have hit a slump having lost six of their last nine games. The offense has put up 13 runs in their last three games and they have scored four or more runs in seven of their last 10 games. The Red Sox will send Tanner Houck to the mound for today's start. This season, he has posted an 0-4 record with a 3.54 ERA and 63 strikeouts this season.

The Mariners can't find any consistent heading down the stretch and have gone 5-5 in their last 10 games. The Mariner's offense has put 13 runs in their last three games and has scored four or more runs in six of their last seven games. The Seattle Mariners will send Marco Gonzales to the mound to face the BoSox. He has posted an 8-5 with a 4.03 ERA and 88 strikeouts this season. Against Boston, he is 1-2 with a 5.87 ERA and 13 strikeouts.

The Red Sox are 7-17 in their last 24 road games and 1-4 in the last 5 meetings in Seattle. The Red Sox are coming off a win against the Mariners last night. Houck has allowed just three earned runs over his last 8.2 innings. Gonzales has allowed 12 hits and five earned runs in his last 11 innings. I have more faith in the Houck and the Red Sox offense to get the job done.

Play on Boston.
