The Atlanta Braves will be looking to follow up last night's resounding 8-3 victory over the Boston Red Sox, when the two teams meet today in the second game of their double header. That victory for the Braves moved them to 34-24 for the season, although they are still nine games back in the NL East standings, due to the Phillies' remarkable start to the season. As for the Red Sox, yesterday's defeat has dropped them below .500 for the season and they remain outside the Wild Card places. Their home form (13-18) has been especially disappointing and they will need to rectify that to stand any chance of making the Playoffs. 

Yesterday's result means that the Braves are on a three game winning streak versus the Red Sox. Overall, the Red Sox lead the head-to-head by 49 wins to 43.

Our Boston Red Sox vs Atlanta Braves Prediction

The bookies cannot separate these two teams and they are both 1.87 for the win. But although this should be a close game, we think the Braves have the edge in terms of form and roster strength. It is also important to consider the Red Sox' terrible recent home record, encapsulated by yesterday's lopsided defeat. Of course, 1.87 does not represent great value for a moneyline bet, but we think the Braves will have enough ammunition to not only win the game, but also beat the spread. As such, our prediction for Red Sox vs Braves is: Braves (-1.5) to win, 2.38 at BetMGM.

Prediction:

 

Braves (-1.5) to win
