Boston Red Sox vs Atlanta Braves Prediction

I’ll stick with the Red Sox. Pivetta needs a good outing, though. Over his last two starts Pivetta is 0-2 with seven earned runs on 10 hits and five walks in 8.2 innings. As for Schwellenbach, he gave up three earned in 5.0 innings versus the Nationals in his first start.

On Tuesday the Red Sox had a pretty solid start offensively but couldn’t do anything on the scoreboard after the fourth inning. Bobby Dalbec had a couple of RBI and Dominic Smith hit a solo homer in the losing effort. I like the Sox to bounce back in Game two to even things out.
