These two teams are on opposite trajectories since the All-Star Break. The Red Six have been the best team in baseball, boasting the best pitching fWAR, 6th best batting fWAR, and 7th bets fielding fWAR in all of MLB. While Pittsburgh's pitching has rebounded, they're 6th in pitching fWAR since the break, their offense is 3rd worst, posting a 0.4 fWAR since the break and they have the 5th worst fielding fWAR. The Red Sox have every advantage on paper and I think that makes them my game of the day.
