The Braves are coming off a 3-1 series win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. They will look to keep things going against Boston by sending Charlie Morton to the mound. He has posted a 4.60 ERa in 45 innings with 52 strikeouts and 16 walks.

The Boston Red Sox took 2 of 3 from the Philadelphia Phillies over the weekend. This will counter with Garrett Richards on the mound. He has posted a 7.72 ERA in 48.1 innings with 43 strikeouts and 22 walks.

You have to like the red Sox pitching matchup in this one. In Richards's last five starts, he is 4-0 with a 2.27 ERA. Morton has had a couple of rough outings but did pitch well his last time out. If Morton isn't on the red Sox bats will tee off on him and you could see a lot of crooked numbers posted early. Richards has been almost unhittable lately and the Braves will struggle to score. Give me Boston in this one.

Play on Boston.
