Betting Trends for vs
Atlanta starting pitcher Kyle Wright is coming off a very disappointing outing in which the right-hander allowed six runs on seven hits across six innings, while Boston starter Nick Pivetta has been hit hard in each of the last two outings allowing seven runs across 10 innings, therefore the play here is OVER. The OVER has cashed in five of the last seven between the Braves and Red Sox played in Boston and in five of the last six overall between the two. Final Score Prediction, Atlanta Braves win but our best play is OVER 7-5.
