Boston Red Sox vs. Atlanta Braves: Atlanta Playing at Home and Hoping for a Comeback

On Tuesday night, the Atlanta Braves and Boston Red Sox will face the battle in a must-see game. The Red Sox are hoping to break their five-game losing streak. The Braves, on the other hand, are on a two-game winning run after defeating the Milwaukee Brewers 9-2 in their most recent game. Boston’s pitcher is Garrett Whitlock (1-1, 1.25 ERA), while Atlanta’s starter is Kyle Wright (3-1, 1.74 ERA). With Atlanta playing at home, we can expect Atlanta to produce something out of the box in front of their home crowd, giving Boston Red Sox a tough time in the middle.

After losing to Los Angeles Angels and Chicago White Sox, Boston finally managed to get a win, and that too in their away fixture. Atlanta Braves didn’t expect Red Sox to deliver after losing 5 straight games. Devers smashed his first career grand slam in a 9-4 win against the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday night, snapping a five-game losing streak for clean-shaven manager Alex Cora. Going in the game, Rafael Devers, the third baseman for the Boston Red Sox, has a clean swing and is a great run generator in the lineup. Devers can strike for power and is a capable corner defender. With four home runs and 11 RBIs, the 2021 All-Star has a.308 batting average. He’s hit safely in four straight games, including a 3-for-4 performance in his most recent encounter.

Note: Subject to Changes

At the last night event, Atlanta Braves didn’t expect themselves to be on the losing side after making a comfortable win against the Brewers. The braves have the reasonable potential of making a comeback and upsetting the visitors. Austin Riley, the third baseman, possesses a strong defensive arm as well as run-producing abilities. Riley can bat for both contact and power because of his agile swing. The 25-year-old defender is a strong defender with excellent footwork. Riley leads the team with seven home runs and fourteen RBIs while also hitting.243. Atlanta’s starting pitcher on Tuesday, Wright, has had a strong start to the season and believes he can dominate on the mound. The 26-year-old pitcher is known for his blistering fastball, as well as his wicked slider and curveball. He’s a strikeout machine, with 37 so already this season. He’s struck out eight or more hitters in three of his five starts.

• Dansby Swanson, SS;
• Matt Olson, 1B;
• Austin Riley, 3B;
• Marcell Ozuna, LF;
• Ozzie Albies, DH;
• Adam Duvall, CF;
• Alex Dickerson, RF;
• Orlando Arcia, 2B;
• Manny Piña, C;
• Kyle Wright, RHP.

Going into the game, Boston Red Sox will look to overthrow Atlanta. However, Atlanta Braves have the capability of upsetting the momentum shift of the Boston Red Sox. We can expect the scoreline to be over 7.5, as in the previous game. I would go with Atlanta, as they will be preparing for an exceptional comeback in the game.

• Atlanta Braves to Win for 1.76
• Total Over 7.5 for 1.96
• Highest Scoring Inning – 4 for 6.50
