The Tampa Bay Rays have been struggling offensively, particularly on the road, with an average of only 1.6 runs scored in their last five away games. Their overall average batting hits stand at 4.4, which indicates a lack of effective offense. On the other hand, the Boston Red Sox have been defensively solid at home, allowing an average of just 2.8 runs in their last five home games.
