Listed at -110 moneyline, the Atlanta Braves eye their third straight win over the Boston Red Sox.
Momentum:
The Atlanta Braves edged the Boston Red Sox, 7-6, in Tuesday’s series opener to end their two-game losing streak. After coming up with only one run in the final two games of their previous series against the Washington Nationals, the Braves’ offense woke up, scoring five earned runs between the 5th and 6th innings before Michael Harris II capped the outburst with a two-run homer in the 8th inning.
Meanwhile, the Red Sox suffered their fourth consecutive defeat, plunging to the bottom of the AL East with a 22-31 record. Boston has lost back-to-back games by a single run and all four by not more than two runs.
Matchup & Odds Analysis:
The Braves have won 3 of their last 4 meetings with the Red Sox. Atlanta’s offense delivered the goods in the last two faceoffs with Boston, powering them to an 8-1 win on May 17 and a 7-6 victory on Tuesday.
This year’s Braves have transformed into one of the league’s top-scoring teams, producing 5.4 runs per game on a .262 BA this season.
Atlanta will enter Game 2 as the favorites, currently sitting at -115 moneyline and +143 to cover -1.5 runs at Caesars Sportsbook. Bryce Elder (4-2, 1.97 ERA) will take the mound five days after giving up one earned run over six innings in a 5-4 win over Washington on May 22.
Meanwhile, the Red Sox have seen a slight jump in their offense recently. Averaging 3.8 runs per game this season, Boston is scoring close to 5 runs per game (4.6 rpg) while hitting .253.
the flip side, pitching has struggled during this five-game stretch, posting an alarming 5.00 ERA with the starters tallying a 6.45 ERA.
Caesars Sportsbook prices the Red Sox at -110 moneyline and -178 to cover the +1.5 run line. Boston will start left-handed pitcher Connelly Early, who surrendered three earned runs over 6.1 innings in a 4-3 win over Kansas City on May 20.On

Our Boston Red Sox vs Atlanta Braves Prediction
Although Elder has lost his last two starts against the Red Sox, the Braves pitcher appears to be in much better shape heading into Wednesday’s start against Boston after allowing one earned run in his most recent mound appearance.
Elder should keep the Red Sox’ offense in check through the first six innings of Game 2 before Atlanta’s elite bullpen (2.84 ERA) puts on the finishing touches.
Facing the left-handed Early should also not trouble the Braves, who are batting .255 with 4.7 runs per game against lefties this season.
Atlanta is 4-2 SU in its last 6 games against Boston. The Red Sox are 0-5 SU in their last 5 games at home.
Our betting prediction for the Atlanta Braves vs. the Boston Red Sox: the Braves will win
