Preview of Astros vs Red Sox Prediction

Houston enters this matchup with a slightly favored edge, posting a 55.3 % win rate when favored and 56.4 % when favored at −136 or shorter odds this season. Recently, they’re 5–5 in their last ten outings, averaging just 3.7 runs per game—an offensive slump to monitor.

Boston has been solid as an underdog, going 7–3 ATS in their last 10 games and averaging 5.3 runs per game, backed by strong recent performances from Jarren Duran (.324 with 3 HRs last 10 games) and Ceddanne Rafaela (.262 with 14 HRs).

With both offenses showing flashes—but Houston trending cold while Boston thrives—this pricing favors a tighter contest than the moneyline suggests.
