Pittsburgh at Boston

This game was rescheduled from a week ago, and we see the same slated pitching matchup. The Pirates were humbled in Cincinnati, dropping all three games by a combined score of 22-5. While that may make the Pirates a tough pill to swallow here, that is actually a positive. Teams that lose three straight on the road by more than 15 combined runs, and are a road dog in a series opener in their next game have a 5.6% ROI the last 11 years. Boston is not playing well yet, and have dropped four of their last six, and Wednesday served up five HRs at home to Baltimore, the most at Fenway by an opponent in 40 years. The bullpen is shot, as starter Steven Wright recorded just four outs in the game. Take Pittsburgh.
