Boston Red Sox: Form and Statistics

The Boston Red Sox have been struggling to get things right in recent matches and will have to step up here. In their last two series, this team has lost each, suffering a sweep against the Detroit Tigers. However, their last series against the Atlanta Braves saw them also lose two of their games. In the opener, this team lost 2-4, but then evened the series in game two with a 7-6 scoreline. However, in their finale, they were thrashed 4-10, as their third inning four runs was not enough to see them secure a win. However, Boston Red Sox have a 23-25 record this season, leaving them seated 9th in the American League but second in the East Division with a 0.479 PCT.

Boston Red Sox vs New York Mets Match Prediction 19 May 2025

The Boston Red Sox and New York Mets have not been able to deliver the same quality of play they showed at the beginning of the season lately. Looking at the way things played out for both teams lately, this fixture looks like a perfect one for them to get back to their best, a test where either team could definitely bounce back to winning ways. However, the Boston Red Sox look a bit behind the level the New York Mets have shown this season looking at their records but it is important to note the last series of this fixture. However, I do not see the New York Mets giving in once again, and while I do not doubt the Boston Red Sox offensive ability, we should be up for a very serious battle in this fixture. At full time, I expect the New York Mets to win this contest. Yet, the Boston Red Sox could have an early lead in the first two innings, leading to a lot of runs. 

Our match prediction is a win for the New York Mets with odds at 1.76 on Betway bookmaker. 

Our betting tip is over 9.0 total match runs with odds at 1.90 on Bet365 bookmaker.
