Welp. The soft part of the schedule featuring the Kansas City Royals was a bust. In come the defending World Series champions! The Atlanta Braves are in second place in the NL East with a 64-46 record compared to the Sox 54-56 mark. At least they have a three game losing streak heading into Boston?
It’s remarkable that things still aren’t hopeless for the Red Sox. But they can’t keep losing. Charlie Morton enters with a 4.09 ERA (3.95 FIP) against Rich Hill’s 4.52 ERA (4.16 FIP). All things considered it’s not a bad matchup.
