Boston Red Sox vs Miami Marlins Prediction: Poor Red Sox won't accept a sweep

On Friday, Major League Baseball action will take place at Fenway Park, featuring a matchup between the Miami Marlins and the Boston Red Sox in what will be the third and final game of the series. In the first game of the series, the Marlins cruised to an easy victory, and on Wednesday, they maintained their winning streak with a victory by four runs.

On Wednesday, the Boston Red Sox allowed the Miami Marlins to score four runs in the eighth inning and hit them a total of 19 times. In game two, the Boston Red Sox outhit the Miami Marlins 8-7 but were unable to capitalize on their opportunities. The starting pitcher, Kaleb Ort, went two innings, allowing one earned run and two hits. On Friday, Brayan Bello will take the mound for the Red Sox in the opening game of the series. This year, Bello has made 12 starts and has a record of 5-4 with a 3.27 ERA, 62 strikeouts, and 66.0 innings pitched. In his career, Bello has played 25 games (23 starts), and he has a record of 7-12 with a 3.94 ERA. In their last 118 games against teams from the NL East, the Boston Red Sox have a record of 80-38, and in their last 59 games played at home against left-handed starters, they have a record of 40-19. In the last eight Friday games that the Boston Red Sox have played, the over is 7-1.

In the opening game of the series, which took place on Wednesday, the Miami Marlins scored three runs in the first inning and went on to win by a score of 10-1. The Miami Marlins scored three runs in the sixth inning of their game on Thursday, and they went on to win by a score of 6-2. Jesus Luzardo will take the field for the Friday night show as the starting pitcher. Luzardo has a record of 6-5 on the year, with a 3.77 ERA and 103 strikeouts in 90.2 innings pitched over his 16 starts. In his career, Luzardo has appeared in 77 games (61 starts), compiling a record of 19-23 with an earned run average of 4.23. The Miami Marlins have a record of 21-8 in their last 29 games overall and a record of 6-1 in their last seven games played in game three of a series. The Miami Marlins have a record of 15-7 in their previous 22 games played on Friday.

It's likely that I'll stick with the Sox in this finale. In his last three appearances, Bello has a record of 2-0 with just four earned runs allowed across a combined 20.2 innings. Luzardo, on the other hand, has only allowed two earned runs over the course of his most recent 13.0 innings pitched. On Thursday, Boston had one awful inning when it came to scoring, but the pitching staff as a whole had a difficult evening overall. However, my prediction is for the Red Sox to win in this final game and save themselves from being swept.
