A’s vs. Red Sox NRFI/YRFI Prediction Today

Winds are blowing out on a hot day at Fenway with two struggling right-handers. Massachusetts sportsbook odds are slightly in favor of a YRFI, and we agree. Bello has a 6.21 ERA at home, coming off a June here he had an 8.25 ERA. He has also struggled early on through the lineup, allowing a .377 wOBA. Estes has struggled against left-handed hitters and away from home. A disastrous matchup against the Sox front end of the lineup and a red-hot Rafael Devers.

Athletics Lineup vs. Brayan Bello (R)

The A’s show promise against right-handers with Bleday and Rooker bringing power, evidenced by Bleday’s .173 ISO and Rooker’s impressive .213 ISO and .371 wOBA. Andujar and Langeliers, despite lower wOBAs of .279 and .315 respectively, add depth. Bello’s 1.45 WHIP and 1.27 HR/9 against a lineup with a blend of contact and power hitters like the A’s could tilt matchups in their favor, especially considering his mediocre 20% K rate and 8.5% BB rate.

Red Sox Lineup vs. Joey Estes (R)

Red Sox hitters like Duran and Devers show significant threat against righties, with Devers’ staggering .372 ISO and .450 wOBA standing out. Duran’s .254 ISO and .377 wOBA, alongside Hamilton and Abreu’s solid contributions, pose a challenge for Estes, who has a 19% K rate and 5.8% BB rate. Estes’ 1.12 WHIP and 1.14 HR/9 also are an issue against this Red Sox lineup.
