Garrett Crochet has been nearly untouchable in 2025, and with the Boston Red Sox offense mashing lefties, Saturday night at Fenway sets up perfectly for Boston. Backed by elite underlying metrics, Crochet faces a Los Angeles Dodgers lineup that hasn’t seen much of him—and the results haven’t been pretty for those who have.

BOTTOM LINE: The Chicago Cubs lead 1-0 in a three-game series with the Boston Red Sox. Chicago is 31-16 at home and 58-39 overall. The Cubs have a 44-7 record in games when they out-hit their opponents.
