The Red Sox are coming into this game with a 44-45 record this season and they have been playing in some high scoring games recently. They are coming off of an 11-2 win against the Nationals in their last game and they have seen 12+ runs total in 3 of their last 4 as well as 4 of their last 6 games. They are going up against a Nationals team that is 37-51 this season and has also been playing in some high scoring games recently. They have seen 10+ runs total in their last 7 straight games and their offense has been great in these as they have scored at least 9 runs in 2 of their last 3 games, but their pitching has not been good as they have also allowed 7+ runs in 3 of their last 4 games. Walker Buehler is starting for the Red Sox in this game and he is 5-6 with a 6.45 ERA this season. He has been awful in his recent starts as he has allowed at least 4 earned runs in each of his last 3 as well as 5 of his last 6 starts and has allowed at least 3 earned runs in all 6 of those as well. He has also been much worse on the road this season as he has allowed at least 5 earned runs in each of his last 4 road starts. Mitchell Parker is starting for the Nationals in this game and he is 5-8 with a 4.63 ERA this season. He has not been awful in his recent starts, but he has still allowed at least 3 earned runs in 3 of his last 4 as well as 10 of his last 12 starts and he will get himself into trouble with the way this Red Sox offense has been hitting recently. He has not been great at home either as he has allowed at least 3 earned runs in 4 of his last 6 starts there so he is going to give up runs here, but Buehler has not been any better himself and this Nationals offense has also been scoring a lot recently. Between these two sides, there will be enough runs in this game to push it over the total.
