Boston Red Sox vs St.Louis Cardinals Prediction: Cardinals pick up second game of the series

Boston will face St Louis in the second game of the series at Fenway Park. The Red Sox won the first game. Will the Cardinals be able to restore the balance? We'll pick a few options to bet on at once.

Alex Cora's team had a poor start to the championship. Now Boston is back on track and starting to recover. The team has 12 wins in its last 15 games. The Red Sox are still fourth in the American League East Division standings with a 35-30 lead. Tampa Bay is 35-29. Toronto has 37-27. The New York Yankees have 48-16.

In the first game of the series against the Cardinals, Boston nearly missed a five-run lead in the ninth inning. However, in the end, they missed four runs instead of 5. It was a quality start for Michael Wack with a 6:5 result, who allowed just one run in 5.1 innings. Rafael Devers and Trevor Story each had 2 RBI. Tanner Hook had a save.

Boston's starting pitcher for the second game of the series is Cutter Crawford, 1-1 and with a 5.74 ERA in 8 games, only 1 of which Crawford has played in a start.

The battle for the National League Central Division lead is one of the most exciting stories of the current season. So far, St. Louis is ahead of Milwaukee in this race. The Cardinals have 37-29. The Brewers have a 36-30 lead.

The first game of the series against Boston was not good for starting pitcher Adam Wainwright. The veteran allowed four runs in 6.1 innings. Reliever T.J. McFarland didn't help, as he had two runs.

Pitching for St. Louis in Game 2 of the series will be Dakota Hudson, 4-3, and a 3.29 ERA in 12 starts this season.

St. Louis nearly achieved a stunning comeback in the series' first game, scoring four runs in the ninth inning. Oliver Marmol's team may complete what they started in the first game in the second meeting. Especially if they lose, it will be the Cards' third straight. A powerful and motivated team fighting with Milwaukee will hardly allow that to happen. Boston has yet to find any stability.
