Boston vs Houston Prediction: the Stars to Confirm Favorite Status

Houston evened their away series score with Boston, defeating their opponent 13:4. Will the Astros win the third and final game at Fenway Park? We'll pick a few bets.

Alex Cora's team, which reached the conference finals last season, seems to be experiencing second-season syndrome. The Red Sox approach the final game of their home series with Houston with a 14:20 balance in fourth place in the American League East Division and only 12th place in the AL standings.

Nick Pivetta will pitch for Boston in the upcoming game. The pitcher is 1:4 with a 5.08 ERA in seven starts this season.

The Astros were behind Los Angeles Angels and Seattle at the start of the 2022 American League West Division. But by now, Dusty Baker's team has overtaken both. Houston leads the AL West quintet with a 24:13 balance being second only to New York Yankees in the conference standings.

Luis Garcia will pitch for Houston in the upcoming match. The pitcher is 3:1 and has a 2.94 ERA in six starts on the new season.

Houston knocked Boston out of the 2021 playoffs by beating their opponent in the final six games of the American League series. In the 2022 regular season, the Astros' chances of winning the first game against the Red Sox, even on the road, look better. Dusty Baker's team has picked up steam and deservedly made it to the second spot in the AL, while Boston is just as deservedly languishing at the bottom of the conference standings. Prediction - a win for Houston.
