Rays vs. Red Sox Showdown: Insider Picks and Surprising Stats That Could Change the Game on July 11
Friday night baseball never gets old, especially when the Tampa Bay Rays, sitting at a respectable 50-44, head into Fenway Park to face off against a red-hot Boston Red Sox squad that’s practically breathing fire at 50-45. On the mound, the Rays will send their reliable Drew Rasmussen (7-5, 2.82 ERA), bringing his A-game after a brief but sharp last outing. Over on the Sox side, Hunter Dobbins (4-1, 4.10 ERA) takes his turn, looking to keep Boston’s momentum rolling strong.
Speaking of momentum, Boston’s recent charge has been something to behold — they clawed their way to a 4-3 victory in the series opener, turning the tide with a tight three-run surge in the seventh inning. That clutch inning pushed their winning streak to seven games, the longest thing cooking for them this season. Meanwhile, Tampa Bay has been stumbling a bit — only snagging one win in their last four and just three over the past eleven contests. Yet, despite the Sox owning a 5-2 edge in the series, the Rays have actually outscored them 37 to 28, which hints at some serious firepower still in their arsenal.
