Garrett Crochet heads to the mound as the Boston Red Sox host the Seattle Mariners. It's time to continue our MLB odds series with a Mariners-Red Sox prediction and pick.
In game one of the series, Jorge Polanco got the scoring going on a solo home run in the first inning. Still, the Red Sox would tie the game in the bottom of the first on a Rafael Devers sacrifice fly. In the bottom of the third, Alex Bregman would drive in a run, and then he would drive in two more in the bottom of the fifth. The Mariners would get one back in the top of the sixth, but a three-run home run from Triston Casas would seal the game in the bottom of the seventh. The Red Sox would go on to win the game 8-3.
The Mariners and the Red Sox play game two of the series on Wednesday.

Bryan Woo has had some solid starts this year. He has two starts in which he went at least six innings and gave up one run. Still, both of those games were at home. In his two road starts, he has pitched 13 innings, giving up seven runs and a home run. The current Red Sox do not have a lot of experience against Woo. They have just eight at-bats, with Alex Bregman going one for six with an RBI, and Blake Sabol going one for two with a two-run home run. Meanwhile, Garrett Crochet has been great this year. He has given up more than two runs just once this year. In that game, he went 5.2 innings, giving up four runs, but just one was an earned run. Current Mariners have hit just .226 against him in 31 at-bats, with two home runs and four RBIs. While Bryan Woo has been great this year, Garrett Crochet has been even better. Expect him to go deep into this game and carry the Red Sox to a victory.
