Red Sox @ Braves – First Pitch: 7:20 p.m.
With an intriguing match-up between the Boston Red Sox and the Atlanta Braves, today’s MLB game promises to be a betting bonanza. The starting pitchers haven’t been officially announced, but it looks like Brayan Bello will take the mound for the Red Sox. Bello’s 3.93 xFIP this season has been tempered by his struggles against left-handed and right-handed batters, posting a .370 and .386 weighted on-base percentage, respectively.
Atlanta’s pitcher is still uncertain, but if Jared Shuster gets the nod, we may be in for a high-scoring game. He’s had a challenging season so far, allowing an 8.5 xFIP over 45 batters faced. However, the Braves potent lineup could counterbalance this, as they have shown an impressive ability to put the ball into play and score runs.
The Red Sox could benefit from the absence of Freddie Freeman from the Braves roster, turning this into a golden opportunity for them to capitalize on Atlanta’s pitching woes. As such, betting on the over seems like a promising strategy, given the current pitching situation and Atlanta’s offensive prowess.
