The New York Mets and Boston Red Sox play the second game of a three-game set at Fenway Park on Tuesday. Boston took the first game on Monday with a 3-1 win, which brought the Sox to 24-25 on the season. The Mets are now 29-19 and have lost two in a row, dating to their loss to the Yankees on Sunday Night Baseball. First pitch in Boston is scheduled for 6:45 p.m. ET, and the game will be shown nationally on TBS.

Clay Holmes will get the start for the Mets. The former closer has thrived after moving into a starting role in Queens, pitching to a 3.14 ERA in his first nine starts. Holmes is set at over/under 5.5 strikeouts at FanDuel Sportsbook, with the Over priced at +116 and the Under at -154. The Red Sox have not yet announced a starting pitcher for the game.

New York first baseman Pete Alonso is the +400 favorite to hit a home run, followed by fellow Mets stars Juan Soto (+450) and Francisco Lindor (+540). Red Sox outfielder Wilyer Abreu and Rafael Devers have the shortest odds for any Boston hitter at +600 each, followed by Alex Bregman (+630). 

The Mets are -129 road favorites (wager $129 to win $100) on the money line in the latest SportsLine consensus odds, while the Red Sox are +109 (wager $100 to win $109) underdogs.
