Boston Red Sox (22-30) will start their three-game home stand against Atlanta Braves (36-18) on Tuesday night at Fenway Park. The Red Sox will want to quickly forget their 3-0 series loss at home to the Twins despite scoring 13 runs. Before that, they swept the Royals 3-0 on the road, once again highlighting their recent improvements. But in general, they’ve had a bad season so far, especially on offense. A win against an elite team like the Braves would lift their confidence.
Atlanta Braves, on the other hand, have run out of gas recently after an exceptional start to the season. The Braves are coming off a surprising 2-1 series loss at home against the Nationals, with their offense struggling for consistency. This is the second straight week that the Braves have been sluggish in offense, including a 12-0 loss to the Marlins. They’ll want to get their offensive swagger back in Boston.

Our Boston Red Sox vs Atlanta Braves Prediction
Atlanta Braves are the -120 betting favorites. Much has been said about their recent offensive struggles, although it’s vital not to overreact against one of the most efficient attacks this season. They’ve been impressive on the road lately, going 5-1 in their last six matches. However, we’ll skip the moneyline odds and instead back the total points to go over 7.5. The Braves will want to show they’re still the top team, whereas the Red Sox will look to build on their offensive improvements. Boston will start Roger Suarez (2-2, 2.40 ERA), whereas Atlanta will respond with Spencer Strider (2-0, 3.00 ERA). These statistics point towards a close matchup, with Atlanta’s squad depth giving them an edge.
Our prediction for Boston Red Sox vs Atlanta Braves: Over 7.5 runs.
