Atlanta Braves (31-15) and Boston Red Sox (19-26) will play the third game of this four-game series on Sunday evening at Truist Park. The Braves opened the series with a 3-2 win on Friday night to continue their impressive run at home. However, they failed to take a commanding lead on Saturday night after losing 3-2. It has been an underwhelming outing for the Braves so far, who have been one of the most feared offensive teams in the league.

Boston Red Sox, on the other side of the grass, will be feeling confident following their surprising win on Saturday night. They held on brilliantly throughout the night before Willson Contreras hit a two-run homer in the eighth to lift them past the stubborn Braves. Rookie left-hander Payton Tolle also had a solid outing, giving up two runs over his season-high of eight innings. It was generally an impressive win.

Our Atlanta Braves vs Boston Red Sox Prediction

As expected, Atlanta Braves are the warm -160 betting favorites. Their offense hasn’t lived up to expectations so far in this series after topping the league standings with a batting average of .268. The Braves are also the pitching leaders (31 wins) and have scored 63 home runs, which is second in the standings. We’re backing them to rediscover their offensive touch against Boston’s Brayan Bello, who has a 2-4 record this season with a worrying 6.46 ERA. The Braves will start Grant Holmes, who is 2-1 with a 4.35 ERA. They should play more aggressively today and outclass the visitors.

Our prediction for Atlanta Braves vs Boston Red Sox: Atlanta Braves for the win.
