MLB Odds: One of the regional games on MLB Network for Wednesday night has the Atlanta Braves visiting the Boston Red Sox. The Boston Red Sox have not played well at home this season but they will still be listed as the favorite in this contest on Wednesday night. This Interleague series is a bit different as the first two games of the series took place in Atlanta while this game on Wednesday and the finale on Thursday will be in Boston. Let’s look at this game on Wednesday night and free MLB picks.
Probable Pitching Matchup
The Atlanta Braves are likely to go with Gavin Floyd in this game on Wednesday. Floyd was solid in his first three starts this season with a 2.41 ERA. He has filled in nicely as the number five starter in the rotation for the Atlanta Braves and right now he has earned a spot.
John Lackey should get the call for the Boston Red Sox. He was 5-3 with a 4.01 ERA in his first eight starts. Lackey has been going about 6 or 7 innings per start and allowing about three runs. He wasn’t good last week against the Detroit Tigers but normally when he pitched at home he gives the Boston Red Sox a good chance to win.
Game Notes
The Boston Red Sox have won 7 of the last 10 at home against the Atlanta Braves with three of the last four going over the total.
Free MLB Picks
I will take a shot with the Atlanta Braves as a road underdog in this contest.
