- MLB Wednesday 10* Top Play OVER 9.5 in Boston Red Sox vs Atlanta Braves @ 7:10 ET - The Red Sox tend to hit much better at home. I look at their lineup and, yes, is not what it was in their heyday years of the past but it still has solid lumber in it for sure. That said, I like the over here with action on pitchers. The Braves continue to be one of the best teams in baseball and hit well. Boston tends to hit better when at home and should get the job done again here as well. Yesterday's game ended up a wild 9-7 extra-innings win for the Braves. The expected starting pitchers are Wright and Pivetta so I will touch on them here but they are not the key to the play. Wright allowed 6 earned runs in most recent start and Fenway Park is not an easy place to pitch. Pivetta has had a couple games recently where he has allowed less earned runs but still giving up quite a few hits. So looking at everything tells the full story and Pivetta has allowed 28 earned runs in 29 innings in last 6 starts. Also he has given up 46 hits in those 29 innings! The Red Sox have seen 5 straight games totaled at least 9 runs and the games have averaged 13 runs! The Braves have seen 16 of last 22 games total at least 9 runs. I realize this total is as high as a 9.5 but I still see double digits being attained in this game. The Braves favored for a reason and have scored an average of 7 runs per game in their 9 wins since the All Star break. Plus the Red Sox known for being dangerous hitting team at home. This should fly over the total. 10* OVER 9.5 in Boston
