A.J. Hinch's team played their first series in the 2022 championship on their home field against the Chicago White Sox. As with Boston, the Tigers started the series with a 5-4 victory. However, in the next games, the opponent's class proved itself - 2-5, 1-10. The White Socks were confidently defeated by Detroit. Will the Red Socks do the same?
The 27-year-old left-hander Tyler Alexander will be the starter on the pitcher's mound in the second meeting with Boston. Last season, which was his third in the MLB, he pitched 41 games, 12 in starts, and finished the championship with a 2-4 win-loss balance and an ERA of 3.81.
Boston lacked emotion
The Red Sox's failure to win the opening game of the series with Detroit is simple to explain. Alex Cora's team finished a tough encounter with the New York Yankees less than 24 hours before the Tigers. Not only was it a matchup with their most fundamental opponent, but it was also the first Sunday Night Baseball game of the season. The Red Sox gave it their all and beat the Yankees 4-3. The team was simply not emotional enough for Detroit.
In the second game of the series with the Tigers, veteran Rich Hill will start on the pitcher's mound for Boston. The 42-year-old pitcher played for Tampa Bay and the New York Mets last season and finished the regular season with a 3.86 ERA, 7-8, and 150 strikeouts in 31 starts.
Expert Betting Tips
Boston blew the first game of the road trip to Detroit and will surely put in an extra effort in the second game. First of all, the Red Sox should add on the bat. Bogaerts, Hernandez, and Verdugo all worked for zeroes in the first game against the Tigers, while Rafael Devers, while striking out 2 for 4, was also ineffective. That said, Boston naturally remains one of the league's strongest offenses, and Detroit will find it very difficult to contain the Sox batters for the second straight day.
Prediction - Boston will prove themselves at bat and win a productive game.
