Boston at Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh started quickly, but things have turned sour for the Pirates as they are just 2-7 in their last nine games, and enter this game on a four game losing streak after losing the series opener to Boston 8-1. Despite that, the Pirates enter with a better record in this game and Boston has been up and down to start the season 11-10. Boston isn't playing well either as they are 4-7 in their last 11 games, despite 10 of those 11 being at Fenway. Pirates go with Mitch Keller, who is far under the radar. His first 92 big-leauge decisions saw him at 35-57, but over his last 12 he is 9-3. Opponents have totaled just 43 runs in the 12 games or 3.6 per contest. The Sox are just 2-9 in Kutter Crawford's last 11 decisions, and opponents have plated 59 runs in the 11 games, or 5.4 per contest. I loke Pittsburgh in this one.
