Two teams off to disappointing starts will look to get things turned around on Tuesday night when the Boston Red Sox visit the Atlanta Braves to open a two-game interleague series at Truist Park.
Devers hit his first career grand slam and the Red Sox broke out of a five-game skid in a 9-4 win over the Braves on Tuesday night.
Boston Red Sox
After making a surprise run to the ALCS last year, Boston is in the exact opposite scenario this season, falling well short of expectations in a disastrous first month of the season. Boston’s offense couldn’t get going in the finale on Sunday to avoid a sweep against the Chicago White Sox.
What looked like a good offense on paper entering the year is now the third-lowest scoring unit in the Majors at 3.28 runs per game on just a .621 OPS. Boston pitching is at least closer to average with a 3.71 collective ERA including a mark of 4.19 from the bullpen.
Xander Bogaerts is Boston’s best hitter so far with a .343/.393/.472 line, 10 RBI and 17 runs scored. J.D Martinez also continues to put up steady production with an .855 OPS, 3 homers and 14 RBI.
Atlanta Braves
The Atlanta Braves are currently two games under .500 and they will be looking to turn it around in this series. Just like last season, the defending World Series champs have not played well in the early going, but things are looking up after Atlanta took a series from one of the best teams in baseball over the weekend.
On the offensive side of the field, they are scoring 3.96 runs per game and hitting .227 as a team. This is the 19th lowest amount of runs scored per game and the 21st lowest overall team batting average. They are struggling at the plate and they just can’t seem to string together multiple hits for a big inning.
The Braves lineup is right at the league average with 4.07 runs per game on a .695 OPS. Pitching has been more of a weakness so far, with Atlanta putting up a 3.97 collective ERA including a mark of 3.28 from a solid bullpen.
First Baseman Matt Olson is off to a great start with his new team after being acquired in an offseason trade, posting an .833 OPS with 3 homers and 13 RBI. Austin Riley has provided the pop with an .834 OPS, 7 homers and 14 RBI.
Watch for Austin Riley at the plate in this game. He has already hit seven home runs, which leads his team. He has been producing a ton of runs for the Braves over the past few weeks. I expect him to be aggressive at the plate in this series.
MLB Baseball Betting Trends:
- Red Sox are 15-15 on the runline
- Red Sox O/U are 9-18-3 on the season
- Braves are 14-17 on the runline
- Braves O/U are 17-13-1 on the season
Boston Red Sox vs. Atlanta Braves MLB Prediction:
The Red Sox are an absolute mess right now, and things aren’t going to get easier on Tuesday night against the Braves, who have played their best baseball of the season over the last five days.
Eovaldi has been solid, but the Red Sox have been losing all these games while getting elite level starting pitching, and it doesn’t look like the offense or bullpen will improve anytime soon.
Give me the Braves to boucne back at home split this series.
