Along with it featuring two premier franchises and a coast-to-coast clash, it’s one that you’ll want to enjoy with our best Dodgers vs. Red Sox predictions.

Dodgers vs. Red Sox Predictions For MLB On FOX, 7/26

We mentioned that this was a featured matchup of high-profile franchises, and that’s before we even talk about the matchup on the mound. We truly couldn’t ask for a better one, as it’s a battle of aces.

That’s with LA’s Clayton Kershaw toeing the rubber, and opposite him will be Boston’s Garret Crochet. Even if you don’t want to put an aging Kershaw in that category of “ace,” we’ve still got an awesome battle of lefties. Speaking of which, dueling southpaws is also a significant factor for the best bet from our Dodgers vs. Red Sox predictions.

Even without such an exciting starting pitcher clash, there are plenty of stars on the diamond. However, we’re actually going to be sticking with a standard market for our top pick, and that way, you’ll have all your bases covered when you combine it with Underdog’s player pick ‘ems!
 

 

 

Los Angeles Dodgers: Clayton Kershaw Looking For Revenge

Speaking of players to consider targeting, there is perhaps no name more synonymous with the Dodgers than Clayton Kershaw. While it may be Shohei Ohtani as of late, the lifelong LA lefty has been there for it all. In fact, that takes us right to why Kershaw will be looking for revenge. You see, he was there for the 2018 World Series against Boston.

It was the second of back-to-back World Series losses for Kershaw and the Dodgers, so it was exceptionally brutal. The lefty started two games in that World Series, recorded losses in both. What is even more shocking is the fact that those are the only two starts he has had in his entire 18-year career against the Red Sox!
 

 

 

Boston Red Sox: Garrett Crochet’s Cy Young Campaign

He may not have the total career accolades that Kershaw does, but Garrett Crochet is solidifying himself as a bona fide ace this season. He trails only fellow lefty Tarik Skubal when it comes to the AL Cy Young race, so it’s clear that going from White (Sox) to Red (Sox) indeed meant the grass was greener.

Sitting at 11-4 on the season with a 2.19 ERA, not to mention entering this game with four straight wins (hasn’t recorded a loss since May 26), Crochet is as hot as ever. However, he did face this star-studded LA lineup as recently as last season. That was a loss for the lefty, and the Dodgers have been just as strong against southpaws this year.

Dodgers vs. Red Sox Best Bet: Over 8.5 Total Runs (Target Player Projections At Underdog)

Given that we have a future Hall-of-Famer and household name, Clayton Kershaw, on the mound along with our breakdown of Garrett Crochet’s Cy Young campaign, this pick may seem quite surprising. Of course, we’ll share why it’s the focus of our Dodgers vs. Red Sox predictions.

Right off the bat, even with well-known lefties, having two of them on the mound tonight already favors a higher-scoring game. That’s thanks to the fact that Boston and LA rank third and fourth, respectively, in terms of team OPS versus lefty pitchers. Even if they’re strong arms, we’re capitalizing on the line, not that there will be 20+ runs scored.

Furthermore, not only has Kershaw not enjoyed facing the Sox, but he’s also far from in midseason form, having missed nearly the entire first half of the year. Meanwhile, although Crochet truly has been the ace Boston has needed, the Dodgers' lineup of Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman, and more is absolutely loaded.

Even if he keeps them in check more than most, we aren’t asking for much. For what it’s worth, we also saw these teams combine for 13 and 15 runs in their most recent two clashes. Lastly, while the best bet from our Dodgers vs. Red Sox predictions is over 8.5 runs, you can always just target player projections at Underdog with their elite fantasy contests!

 

 

 

Dodgers vs. Red Sox Injury Report & Starting Pitchers

Earlier in the year, Clayton Kershaw had been among the biggest Dodgers vs. Red Sox injury news, but now, it’s fellow starter Blake Snell. His rather long stint on the IL continues, and LA also has reliever Blake Treinen and everyday players Max Muncy and Tanner Scott as concerns.

As for Dodgers vs. Red Sox injury news in Boston, they are far healthier with only Justin Slaten and Marcelo Mayer as concerns. With Kershaw no longer being banged up, here are the expected Dodgers vs. Red Sox starters for today:
