On April 14, the Boston Red Sox (8-9) clash with the Tampa Bay Rays (7-8) at George M. Steinbrenner Field. Tanner Houck takes the hill for Boston, aiming to improve on his 0-1 record and 4.41 ERA, following a strong outing against the Blue Jays. Conversely, Tampa's Shane Baz boasts a stellar 1.39 ERA and a win against the Angels in his latest start. The Rays recently dominated Atlanta, while the Red Sox struggled to find offensive rhythm during their series with the White Sox.

The betting lines reflect a competitive matchup. The Red Sox are slight favorites at -100, while the Rays sit at -119. The over/under is set at 8 runs. Notably, Rafael Devers is currently struggling, going hitless in his last 10 at-bats, which could impact Boston's offensive strategy against Baz.
