The Red Sox are coming into this game playing in more high scoring games recently as each of their last 2 games have seen 8 or more runs in them. Their offense finally came alive again in their last game as they scored 6 runs, but they are going up against a Mariners team that has also had a good offense recently, averaging over 5 runs scored per game in their last 8 games, and they will be hungry to bounce back here at home and try to win this series. Kutter Crawford is starting for the Red Sox here and he is 5-5 with a 3.86 ERA this season. He has pitched well as a reliever this season but he has not been as good as a starter as he has been allowing a lot more runs in those appearances. He has consistently allowed runs in 5 of his last 6 starts and he does not have a great bullpen behind him either so the Red Sox are going to allow some runs against this Mariners offense that has been improving recently. The Red Sox do have one of the better offenses in the MLB though and after scoring 6 runs in their game last night, they will be leaning on their offense to score some runs in this game. Logan Gilbert is starting for the Mariners here and he is 9-5 with a 3.83 ERA this season. He has also been consistently allowing runs in his recent starts as he has allowed at least 2 earned runs in each of his last 3 straight starts, but he has actually been much worse at home recently as he has allowed at least 2 earned runs in each of his last 5 straight starts there, allowing at least 4 earned runs in 2 of his last 3 as well as 3 of his last 5 home starts. The Mariners offense has also been getting up for him as they have scored at least 5 runs in each of his last 3 starts, but the Red Sox are also going to score runs on him with that good offense and this will be a higher scoring game. Between these two teams, there will be enough runs in this game to push it over the total.
