Key Stats
Los Angeles Dodgers
The Los Angeles Dodgers are crushing offensively as they are second in the sport with a .255/.329/.444 team slashline while averaging 5.3 runs per game.

Designated hitter Shohei Ohtani continues to crush as he has a .994 OPS with 37 homers, 70 RBI, 98 runs scored, and 13 steals on 17 tries.
Veteran left-hander Clayton Kershaw is going to be taking the mound for the Los Angeles Dodgers for Saturday’s game and is pitching well thus far as he is 4-1 with a 3.27 ERA and a 1.25 WHIP in 55.0 innings of work. He is doing better at limiting hits as he has a .255 opposing batting average after a .303 batting average against last season. Kershaw has not faced the Red Sox in his lengthy MLB career so it will be interesting to see how he does here.
Boston Red Sox
The Boston Red Sox are hitting at an outstanding level as they are fifth in MLB with a .748 team OPS while scoring 4.88 runs per game up to this point. Their lineup is doing a mediocre job in terms of drawing walks as they are 14th in baseball with 339 total walks drawn. Left fielder Jarren Duran is in trade rumors as he is struggling a bit offensively as he has a .254/.323/.427 slashline with nine home runs, 53 RBI, 57 runs scored, and 16 stolen bases while being caught five times.

Prediction
The Boston Red Sox are playing well and have the better starting pitcher as Garrett Crochet has been one of the frontrunners for the AL Cy Young Award this season. The Dodgers are struggling lately and looking a bit more formidable as we enter the dog days of summer. There is a chance that Mookie Betts plays after dealing with a personal issue on Friday, but that is not going to be enough for the Dodgers. All in all, go with the Boston Red Sox to win this game.
