Braves vs Red Sox Betting Pick
This game will be played at Fenway Park at 7:10 PM ET on Wednesday, August 10, 2022.
Why Bet The Braves:
✅ Nick Pivetta (8-8; 4.51 ERA; 1.33 WHIP) will toe the slab for the Red Sox, and the 29-year-old righty has been a disaster since the start of July. In his previous six starts, Pivetta has registered a 0-3 record to go with an abysmal 8.69 ERA and 5.77 FIP.
✅ Kyle Wright (13-5) will get the nod for the Braves and try to bounce back from last week’s poor performance in a 6-4 defeat at the New York Mets. Wright yielded six earned runs across six innings of work, but the 26-year-old righty still holds a nice 3.22 ERA and 1.17 WHIP in 2022. He went 4-0 with a strong 2.64 ERA in five starts and 30.2 innings pitched in July.

Atlanta Braves
The 64-46 Braves entered Tuesday’s battle at Fenway Park looking to stop their three-game slide. The reigning champions have won just one of their previous six contests, falling seven games behind the New York Mets in the NL East. Atlanta’s bullpen has tossed 21.2 innings so far this month, racking up a pedestrian 5.40 ERA, 4.6 BB/9, and .318 BABIP. The Braves’ relievers sit at 3.31 ERA and 3.27 FIP for the season, holding the second-best fWAR in the majors (5.1).
Boston Red Sox
The Sawx suffered a heavy 13-5 defeat at Kansas City this past Sunday. They dropped a four-game road series against the Royals and fell to 54-56 on the season. Boston was sitting bottom of the AL East on Tuesday, and the Sawx were 4.5 games behind the final wild card in the American League. Red Sox’s bullpen has thrown 23.1 frames in the last eight days, compiling an ugly 6.94 ERA, 4.3 BB/9, and .324 BABIP.
