The current betting odds have the Braves listed as a favorite in this game. The Braves have not been playing well recently as they have been losing a lot of games, but the Red Sox have also been losing a lot of games and they are much worse than the Braves are. The Braves have a very good team with great pitching and one of the best offenses in the MLB while the Red Sox are a team that is below .500 and just traded away a lot of players at the trade deadline. They are worse off now than before the deadline and they were not playing very well up to that point. Wright is starting for the Braves here and he has been pitching very well this season while Pivetta has also been alright for the Red Sox, but he has also been allowing a lot of runs recently and the Braves are an actual playoff contender that will be looking to go on another big run here. The best way to place a bet here is on the Braves to win this game.
