Boston +120 over New York
Sonny Gray (RHP - Boston) – 2.63 ERA Nolan McLean (RHP - New York) – 3.74 ERA
7:15 PM EST. Boston hands the ball to veteran right-hander Sonny Gray, who continues to be one of the steadiest starters in baseball. Gray is coming off another quality outing after allowing just one run over six innings while striking out seven batters, and he has now held opponents to three earned runs or fewer in 12 consecutive starts. During that stretch, Gray has posted an outstanding 19.2% K-BB%, highlighting both his swing-and-miss ability and elite command. He also draws a favorable matchup against a Mets lineup that has struggled against right-handed pitching over the past month, batting just .233 while producing below-average run production versus righties.
Nolan McLean has shown flashes of why New York is excited about his future, but the rookie right-hander still faces a difficult assignment against one of the American League's hottest offenses. Boston has been producing consistently at the plate, ranking among the league leaders in batting average and extra-base hits while generating strong run support throughout the lineup. The Red Sox have also been excellent away from Fenway Park, continuing to pressure opposing pitchers with disciplined at-bats and timely power. McLean has pitched well at times, but facing a veteran-heavy lineup that rarely gives away outs presents one of his toughest tests to date.
The edge belongs to Boston thanks to the significant advantage on the mound. Gray has been remarkably consistent, giving his club a chance to win every time he takes the ball, while New York's recent struggles against right-handed pitching play directly into his strengths. With Boston swinging the bats well, backed by one of the more dependable starters in the league, the Red Sox are well positioned to earn a road victory over the Mets.
