In their last game against the Oakland Athletics, the Red Sox dominated with a 9-0 victory. Their hitters accumulated nine hits while maintaining a clean sheet with zero errors on defense. The bullpen was particularly effective, allowing only one hit over three innings and boasting an ERA of 0.0.


Another notable performance came against the Seattle Mariners where despite two errors, they managed to secure a win with three runs in extra innings. This resilience is indicative of their ability not just to lead but also to clutch victories from tight situations.

The team's batting average has been hovering around .250-.290 in recent games, showing consistency at the plate. Moreover, they've demonstrated an ability to capitalize on run-scoring opportunities – something that could prove crucial against the Guardians' pitching staff.


Fenway Park is known for its unique dimensions and Green Monster which can play into both teams' strategies; however, it's familiar territory for the Red Sox who will look to use this home-field advantage effectively.
