A’s vs. Red Sox NRFI/YRFI Prediction For Today
Much like last night’s game, there is value on the NRFI side of things with Tanner Houck on the mound. The concern is more with Luis Medina, who has struggled early in games this season, walks hitters, and has a low strikeout rate. The Sox offense is dangerous with Duran leading off and Devers looming, but we are going to back Medina where has has had four starts allowing one or less runs.

Red Sox Lineup vs. Luis Medina (R)
Rafael Devers stands out with a .453 wOBA and .370 ISO against right-handers, posing a significant challenge for Medina. Jarren Duran and Wilyer Abreu also bring high wOBAs (.375 and .355, respectively) and ISO power (.255 and .226) to the mix, indicating potential early scoring against Medina’s 1.54 WHIP and 10.9 BB%. Medina’s lower K% (15.2) might struggle against the Red Sox’s lineup efficiency.
