Boston Red Sox: Form and Statistics

The Boston Red Sox took advantage of their turf in the opener and secured a much-needed victory yesterday. However, that is not enough, as this team now has to be at their best to win this series despite a solid 5-run start. In that encounter, the Boston Red Sox needed a four-run score in the 7th inning to extend their lead after leading by just one run in the 6th inning. Ahead of this game, the Boston Red Sox's lone defeat in recent times was against the Chicago White Sox, which ended 4-8 in an incredible run of seven encounters. Despite still being seated 5th in the American League and second in the East Division, this team has improved their record to 14-11 this season, pulling off a 0.560 PCT.

Boston Red Sox Team News and Lineup

After an incredible job from Brayan Bello in game one, Will Venable has decided to trust to deliver in this second game. In his season performances from four starts, Sean Newcomb has a 0-2 record with a 3.63 average earned runs in 17.1 innings total. However, his career record is 28-27, which is not really impressive, with an average earned run of 4.48 ERA in 179 career games after he started 64.

The injury lists still remain the same as that of game one. Will Venable will be missing Connor Wong, Masataka Yoshida, Kutter Martin Crawford, Richard Fitt, and Lucas Giolito, who have all failed to recover before this game.

Seattle Mariners: Form and Statistics

The Seattle Mariners will hope for a miracle in this game two after a disappointing display in the opener. While this team started well with a run in the first inning, they disappeared in four innings and could only respond with just two runs in the sixth inning before conceding four in the 7th inning. However, that defeat was a check and this side will have to do better to restore their brilliant run.

In the meantime, the Seattle Mariners 2025 season has been impressive, opening it with a split win against the Oakland Athletics. Ahead of this game, the visiting team record stands at 12-11 and they remain second in the American League West Division.

Seattle Mariners Team News and Lineup

The Seattle Mariners have backed Emerson Hancock for the pitching role in this game two. This season, Emerson Hancock has started two matches and has a 0-1 record. He has an average earned run of 12.71 ERA over 5.2 innings, improving his overall record to a 4-5 record with a 5.29 ERA in 17 career starts.

Positively, there are no new injury concerns for the Seattle Mariners ahead of this game two. However, Victor Robles and Matt Brash still remain out and are getting closer to being part of this squad. George Kirby, Jackson Koward, and Ryan Bliss are all expected to be out of this squad.

Boston Red Sox vs Seattle Mariners Match Prediction 23 April 2025

I was not surprised with how the opening game ended and I believe we might witness similar play in this second game. The Seattle Mariners did not give much as expected, especially in defence, even though their attack was poor. Also, Bryce Miller was not connecting well to receive his ball nor making precious decisions to score. However, it remains to be seen the flexibility and desire Emerson Hancock can bring into this game, as he has offered more offensively this season.

On the other hand, the Boston Red Sox can not afford to back down after that incredible opening game performance. Yet, I feel the Seattle Mariners will create much of a problem for the Boston Red Sox in this game having learnt from their opening game defeat. This should be a much tighter contest compared to game one and the Seattle Mariners should win this one.

Our match prediction: is over 9.5 runs with odds available at 1.72 on the 1XBet bookmaker.

Our betting tip: is a win for the Seattle Mariners with odds at 2.15 on the Bet365 bookmaker.
