The 2025 Tigers prove that baseball is a game of halves and a game of momentum. If Detroit can go from the best team in MLB in the first half of 2025 to being within one game from postseason elimination in September, the Red Sox can fix whatever mess they have going on in the early goings of 2026. <\/p>\n
The Red Sox’s starters have each shown signs of elite capabilities<\/a> so far, but they haven’t been able to keep it together long-term. The third time through the rotation this season, Boston’s starters posted a 1.52 ERA, <\/a>but Garrett Crochet and Sonny Gray weren’t able to maintain their success <\/a>in their next outings. Against the Tigers, the Red Sox will see if Ranger Su\u00e1rez and Brayan Bello are up to the task. <\/p>\n The offense has finally started to wake up in recent games. In four of their last five games, they’ve posted at least six runs. Caleb Durbin and Jarren Duran are still really struggling at the plate, but Trevor Story and Roman Anthony seem to be breaking out. <\/p>\n In the two series the Red Sox have won, they’ve won two games consecutively. When Boston has won, it has momentum on its side. When more of the offense wakes up and the bats all around the lineup perform even just a bit more consistently, the Red Sox may finally be able to maintain their positive play with belief. <\/a><\/p>\n
