Atlanta Braves vs. Boston Red Sox. The MLB pick for this slugfest is the Atlanta Braves. Boston had a good month of baseball, but they are up against the best club in the league.

Despite Bello’s strong pitching this year, the Red Sox still need to be disadvantaged on the mound. Strider recorded at least nine strikeouts in his past six starts going into this game, and he now leads the majors in whiffs this season.

The Braves’ offensive explosiveness and danger were already demonstrated by the fact that no lead was safe from them.

Despite Boston’s recent rise, Atlanta is the superior club, so it would be difficult to predict that Bello will match his May performance when facing the Braves.

As Strider approaches 200 strikeouts for the season, send Atlanta on the road. The Atlanta Braves will win by a predicted score of 4-3.
