A 15-game MLB slate is scheduled for Saturday, one of which will include an Interleague matchup between the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Boston Red Sox. Let’s take a look at the match statistics and predictions for this game between the Pirates and the Red Sox.
Boston enters this game as one of the hottest teams in the league and, because of that, is currently in third place in the American League East division, while also holding the second AL Wild-Card. Starting this game for the Red Sox will be Sonny Gray, who has a record of 14-3 and an ERA of 2.79. Gray has also been solid on the road this season and should be able to handle a mediocre Pirates team.
As for Pittsburgh, they enter this game several games under .500 and are currently in last place in the National League Central division. Set to start this game for the Pirates will be Jared Jones, who has a record of 2-4 and an ERA of 5.03. Jones has not been good at home this season, which should allow the red-hot Boston offense to have plenty of success.

Our Pittsburgh Pirates vs Boston Red Sox Prediction
The Red Sox are only a small favorite; however, they still look to be the best betting option. This goes directly to the home/away splits for the two starting pitchers. Gray has made 11 away starts this season, where he has allowed 23 runs (22 earned) over 63.1 innings. Jones, on the other hand, has made seven home starts, having allowed 23 runs (22 earned) over 34.0 innings.
Boston has simply been on an incredible run the last couple of weeks, and that should continue against a Pittsburgh team that has been fading fast. For that reason, our Pittsburgh Pirates vs Boston Red Sox prediction is: Boston Red Sox ML.
