Red Sox vs. Braves – Game Betting Preview & Prediction
Moneyline: Atlanta -180 | Total: 8.5
Boston Red Sox: Devers Delivers and Buehler Seeks Redemption
Rafael Devers is finishing May like a man on a mission. After going 2-for-4 with a two-run single in Friday’s win, Devers boosted his May stats to a ridiculous .370 average with 33 RBIs and seven bombs. He’s driving the Red Sox offense like it’s a getaway car, helping Boston snap a five-game losing streak with authority.
Walker Buehler is tasked with building on that momentum. He’s been inconsistent since coming off the IL, and let’s not forget his early ejection last week for arguing balls and strikes like he was auditioning for Judge Judy. If Buehler can stay composed, Boston has a fighting shot.
Atlanta Braves: Slumping, Streaking, Searching for Mojo
The Braves are in a funk, plain and simple. Seven losses in their last nine games, and even Ozzie Albies couldn’t keep his hit streak alive. Offensively, the battery’s running low.
Enter Spencer Schwellenbach, who’s struck out 11 in back-to-back starts and gave Boston a tough time earlier this month. He owns a 7.71 ERA against the Sox, but don’t let that scare you, he’s trending up. Atlanta’s bullpen is bruised, and their lineup needs a jolt, but Schwellenbach could be the stopgap they need.
Betting Prediction & Final Score
The Braves are favored for a reason, but Boston’s bats are heating up. Expect Devers to stay dangerous and for Buehler to keep the Braves mostly in check. Schwellenbach will have his moments, but Atlanta’s offense might not provide enough run support.
Score Prediction: Red Sox 5, Braves 3
Side: Boston ML (+150)
Best Bet: Under 8.5 (+100)
Slight upset incoming. Boston squeaks out a second straight win while the Braves keep searching for consistency.
