Atlanta Braves vs Boston Red Sox Prediction
The Red Sox are back to their losing ways, and their pitching is getting rocked. The Red Sox are now 8-18 at home this season. The Braves remain one of the most consistent teams in the league, and now they’re throwing out Elder, who has a 1.97 ERA and 0.99 WHIP through 68.2 innings. Elder has a 1.78 ERA and .119 allowed batting average in 25.1 road innings. We’re getting a low price with the better team and a dominant pitcher. Give me the Braves.
