Predicted Outcome
Brayan Bello’s consistent command combined with Boston’s bullpen advantage gives the Red Sox the edge. However, the Reds’ recent offensive burst makes this a close matchup. Expect a competitive game where Boston holds on late for a 5–4 victory. The under is the smarter total run play given both starting pitchers’ profiles and favorable bullpen matchups.
