The Boston Red Sox have not gotten the same level of quality pitching as they did last year when they went on to win it all. They already have allowed 6 runs or more in 21 games on the season. The good news for Boston is that the Atlanta Braves have only scored 6 runs or more four times in their last 32 games. Boston will go with John Lackey tonight, and he has been their most consistent starter at 5-3 with a 3.58 ERA on the season. Boston has absolutely dominated Atlanta over the last 10 seasons where they have won the last seven series between these teams, and Atlanta is just 5-16 in the last 21 meetings. The Braves are also just 1-7 in their last eight, on the road vs. a left-handed starter. The Red Sox are dealing some aces as a favorite from -110 to -150 where they are 44-15 in their last 59. Take Boston.
