The Red Sox are coming into this game with a 10-19 record overall and they are 6-10 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. They have lost 7 of their last 8 games and are coming into this one on a 5 game losing streak. They just lost their 3-game series against the Chicago White Sox getting swept 3-0, had Monday off as a rest day, and they are playing the series opener of a 2-game series with the Braves on Tuesday. This will be the 1st game of the series on Tuesday. Tanner Houck was the starting pitcher for them on Sunday while Garrett Whitlock is on the mound for them here on Tuesday. He is 1-1 with a 1.25 ERA this season. His team lost all 3 games this season with him as a starter. In his last start, he allowed 2 ER, 1 HR, and 0 BB with 9 Ks on 2 hits in 5 IP against the Los Angeles Angels. They scored 5 runs in their last series averaging just under 2 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 10 runs against them averaging just over 3 runs allowed per game.

 

The Braves are coming into this game with a 14-16 record overall and they are 8-8 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They have won 3 of their last 4 games and are coming into this one on a 2 game winning streak. They just won their 3-game series against the Milwaukee Brewers 2-1, had Monday off as a rest day, and they are playing the series opener of a 2-game series with the Red Sox on Tuesday night. This will be the 1st game of the series on Tuesday. Charlie Morton was the starting pitcher for them on Sunday while Kyle Wright will be on the mound for them here on Tuesday. He is 3-1 with a 1.74 ERA this season. His team won 4 of their last 5 games this season with him as a starter. In his last start, he allowed 3 ER, 1 HR, and 1 BB with 3 Ks on 9 hits in 7 IP against the New York Mets. They scored 15 runs in their last series averaging 5 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 10 runs against them averaging just over 3 runs allowed per game.

 

The Braves are coming into this game as a slight favorite with the current betting odds. They have not had a very good start to the season as they still sit below .500 with their overall record but they have won 3 of their last 4 games and are starting to hit the ball much better now. They just won their last series against the Brewers who were playing very well and now the Braves are at home against a Red Sox team that has been awful this season. The Red Sox are well below .500 to start the season and they have not been finding ways to score runs in their games. They have been losing a lot of their games recently as well and they just wasted a massive opportunity on a homestand to get some wins as they lost 5 of their 6 games there. The Braves are starting to heat up now and they are still the defending World Series Champions so they are going to be coming out of this slump sooner or later. The Red Sox have shown nothing this season and there is no reason to think they will win this game on the road with the way they have been playing. The best bet to place here is on the Braves to win this game.

"I'm very surprised. I know the quality of team that we have, so I know in the end everything is going to turn out and we're going to get to our full potential. Right now, it's not going our way." - Rafael Devers after their loss against the White Sox on Sunday.

 

 

"Absolutely it shows the team we're capable of and the team that we are. We're still trying to get our foothold. You'd love to get everything going and get on a run, but I think the split in New York and winning a series against a first-place team shows we're headed in the right direction." - Brian Snitker after his team’s win against the Brewers on Sunday.
