Atlanta Has Been Struggling On The Road

Austin Riley went 3-for-5 with a home run and five RBI in Atlanta's 9-7 win over the Red Sox on Tuesday night. Prior to that win, the Braves were just 3-7 SU over their last 10 road games including three straight losses to the New York Mets on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. 

Pitching has been a major issue for the Braves during their recent road slump as the club has allowed 6.43 runs per game over its last seven road games. Bettors taking Atlanta as their Braves vs Red Sox prediction on Wednesday will be hoping that Kyle Wright can bounce back from his last poor road outing with a strong start in this one.

Boston Doesn't Show Much Bite As An Underdog

The Red Sox scored seven runs on Tuesday night and still found themselves in the loss column against the Braves. Boston pulled off three upsets in a row including two road wins over the Houston Astros at the beginning of August, but the Red Sox have gone 0-2 SU as an underdog since then and were 2-10 SU in their previous 12 instances as one.

The club also fell to 3-8 SU in its last 11 home games with Tuesday night's loss. Boston had a 45-35 SU record through its first 80 games this season, but injuries and bad pitching over the team's last 31 games have led to a 9-22 SU spiral out of contention.

Braves vs Red Sox Pick & Insights

Braves: Keys to Victory

While the Braves would have loved to do better than their 1-4 SU record in their five road games against the New York Mets last week, it's still worth noting that this slump came on the road against a legitimate World Series contender. Atlanta was 40-15 SU in its 55 games prior to that series and is a clear step above this Boston team as a Braves vs Red Sox prediction.

Red Sox: Keys to Victory

The Red Sox are 4-0 SU in the last four games that they've surrendered four earned runs or less and are 0-14 SU in the last 14 games they've allowed five runs or more in. Nick Pivetta and the Red Sox bullpen have to step up to give this offense a chance at pulling off an upset as a Braves vs Red Sox pick on Wednesday night.
