The Atlanta Braves are showing great value as road underdogs to the Boston Red Sox tonight. Atlanta is 15-6 (+12.3 units) as an underdog of +100 to +150 this season. This has been one of the most underrated teams in baseball this year.
A big reason why is the development of their young starters. Sean Newcomb has arguably been the best of the bunch this year. Newcomb is 5-1 with a 2.39 ERA and 1.139 WHIP in nine starts this season, including 4-0 with a 1.49 ERA and 0.991 WHIP in six road starts.
Newcomb has been really good of late, going 4-0 with a 0.36 ERA while allowing just one earned runs in his last 25 innings pitched. He’ll be opposed by the shaky Drew Pomeranz, who is 1-2 with a 5.96 ERA and 1.779 WHIP in six starts this season, including 1-2 with a 6.60 ERA and 1.867 WHIP in three home starts.
The Braves are 7-1 in their last eight road games vs. a left-handed starter. Atlanta is 4-0 in Newcomb’s last four road starts. The Braves are 16-5 in their last 21 games following a loss. The Red Sox are 1-4 in their last five games vs. a left-handed starter. Bet the Braves Saturday.
