Houston Astros vs Boston Red Sox Prediction, Odds and Picks for Saturday, 08/02/25

The Houston Astros and Boston Red Sox will square off Saturday afternoon at Fenway Park, where Boston looks to build on their extra-inning win last night. The Red Sox currently sit 4 games out of first place in the AL East, and today they will send Walker Buehler to the mound — hoping he can put his team in a position to close that gap even further. On the season, Buehler is 6-6 with a 5.72 ERA. 

For Houston, it holds a 3.5-game lead over the Mariners in the AL West and will send southpaw Colton Gordon to the mound. Gordon is 4-3 on the season with a 4.74 ERA. Gordon struggles to go deep into games, and in his last 4 starts he has given up 15 runs in 21.0 innings pitched. Buehler has been slightly better when we look at his last 4 starts, giving up 9 earned runs in 22.2 innings. At the plate both teams are fairly similar, with the Red Sox averaging 4.3 runs per game over their last 13 compared to the Astros’ 4.0 runs per game over their last 14. Look for the Red Sox to stay red-hot against this Houston’s team and take advantage of Gordon’s struggles early on, making Boston my best bet of the day.
