Red Sox Game Today: Red Sox vs Mets Lineup, Odds, Prediction, Pick, Pitcher, TV Channel for September 21

Two teams that share a hatred of the New York Yankees will meet this week for a pair of games. The Red Sox will play the Mets before hosting the Yankees at Fenway this coming weekend.

After sweeping the Orioles over the weekend, the Red Sox are 86-65. They’ve officially surpassed their 2019 win count, a pleasant surprise for everyone who had low expectations coming into this season. While the Rays and Blue Jays duke it out this week, the Sox will attempt to stay atop the Wild Card race.

Red Sox Pitcher Today: Eduardo Rodriguez

Eduardo Rodriguez will go against Marcus Stroman in the first of the two-game set.

Stroman has been a stud this year, while ERod has often erred on the side of dud. The Sox southpaw has a 5.00 ERA over 28 starts. He’s struck out 165 batters over 142 1/3 innings, but has allowed 79 earned runs, for an average of nearly three runs per start.

Rodriguez is coming off a strong start in Seattle, with only one earned run allowed over six innings. However, he’s allowed three or more earned runs in three of his last five games, and has never pitched against the kings of Queens.

Stroman is having an incredible season, with a 2.88 ERA over an MLB-leading 31 starts. Stro opted out of the 2020 season, but has more than rebounded from the time away. This is his best ERA since his 3.09 season in 2017, and his 8.0 SO9 rate is a career-best.

As a former Blue Jay, Stroman has faced the Sox many times in his career, 14 starts, to be exact. He has a 3.44 ERA against them and has held Sox batters to a .262/.323/.375 line and .698 OPS.

Red Sox vs Mets Prediction Today

Sadly, I like the Mets’ chances in this game. ERod has never faced the Mets, but Stroman has an abundance of experience shutting down Sox.
