Form in their last five games:

The Pirates have won 4 of their last five games, showcasing exceptional pitching prowess from their starters to their bullpen. Over their last five games, Pittsburgh has commanded an elite 2.45 ERA and 1.05 WHIP, while allowing 0.8 homers per game. The Pirates have also experienced a significant improvement in their offense in this stretch, as they average 5.0 runs and 1.2 homers per game.

Our Pittsburgh Pirates vs Boston Red Sox Prediction

Fearless Forecast: The Pirates completed a three-game sweep of the Red Sox.

The Difference Maker: The Pirates are in for a tough test as they face Lucas Giolito, who sports a 4-1 record with a 2.56 ERA across his last five starts. Mitch Keller’s numbers in his last five starts (3-2, 7.88 ERA) may not be as impressive as Giolito’s stats, but the Pirates’ hurler should be just fine, especially if the Pirates can provide a fitting follow-up to their 10-run explosion on Saturday. The Pirates' bullpen, which carries a 1.96 ERA over the last five games, also gives Pittsburgh a chance to win games late in the game, either in come-from-behind situations or in a scenario where they are protecting a small lead.

Our betting prediction for the Pittsburgh Pirates vs. the Boston Red Sox: the Pirates will win.
