The Atlanta Braves seek to maintain their potent form as they gun for their third straight win against the reeling Boston Red Sox on Saturday in Game 2 of their series at Fenway Park.

The Braves have won 4 of their last 5 games, batting .269 with 4.7 runs per game. They are also hounding teams in this stretch with an outstanding 2.00 ERA and 1.07 ERA. In Friday’s Game 1 win over the Red Sox 4-2, Atlanta displayed their impeccable pitching anew as reigning CY Young winner Chris Sale surrendered one earned run in 5.1 innings pitched while the Braves bullpen kept the crowd silent by holding off any comeback attempt from the Red Sox.

The Red Sox are now 11-10 at Fenway Park following Friday’s loss to the Braves. Boston, who has also lost their last four games, is in the midst of a 5-game pitching slump wherein they are giving up a horrendous 6.25 ERA. Boston (22-24) is second in the AL East, but they are trailing the New York Yankees (26-18) by 5 full games.

Our Boston Red Sox vs Atlanta Braves Prediction

Fearless Forecast: The Braves strike again to lead 2-0 in the series with the Red Sox

The Braves will be counting on Grant Holmes (4.34 ERA) to deliver another road win. Holmes surrendered only one earned run over 6.1 innings in his last start, which was something he needed after allowing 4 earned runs in a 3-4 loss to Cincinnati on May 7. The Braves are 4-1 SU in their last 5 games against Boston and 4-1 SU in their last 5 games, which bolsters my confidence that they can pull off another win at Fenway Park. Boston, 4-12 SU in its last 16 games against an opponent in the National League, taps Lucas Giolito to start on the mound on Saturday. Giolito is coming off a solid stint against the Royals, where he allowed one earned run to 6.2 innings to help Boston get a 3-1 win. Unfortunately, I can’t trust Giolito to perform well against the Braves since he let up 9 earned runs the last time he pitched against the said team.
