Boston Red Sox vs Atlanta Braves Prediction

I’m on the Braves in this one. I get the case to be made for the Red Sox as a home underdog, but the Red Sox haven’t been overly effective at home regardless of who’s been on the mound or who is at the plate as of late and the Red Sox have also really been struggling against left-handed pitching for the better part of the season. The Braves have had issues of their own, but Fried’s been one of their best starters full stop this season and I think he guides the Braves to a much-needed series opening win here. Give me Atlanta.
