The Braves are 5-5 L10 games, but the big story is that for the first time all season they’ve lost three in a row. They had previously been 11-0 off two straight losses and 31-11 off a loss of any kind. This was before going down Sunday, 5-2 to the Mets.

It just wasn’t the Braves' weekend as they lost four of five to the first place Mets. This leaves them seven games back in the NL East, so time to start thinking about the Wild Card. Tuesday, the Braves roll into Boston to face a Red Sox team that is 4-6 L10 and has surprisingly struggled at Fenway Park.

Over the weekend, the Red Sox lost three of four games at Kansas City. They are also a game below .500 (for the year) at home. A last place finish in the AL East seems to be in the cards.

Charlie Morton is winless over his last four starts for Atlanta. But in two of those starts, he didn’t give up any runs. The same holds true for three of his last six starts and four of his last nine. Over their last seven games, Boston is batting .223 and averaging 3.6 runs.

Rich Hill has been a .500 (ish) pitcher for Boston, but is facing a lineup that’s 25-12 vs. lefties. Hill hasn’t been going very deep into games and in the last two starts, he’s given up seven runs in 7.6 innings. His last win came on June 26th. The Red Sox are 12-25 in their L37 games. 9*
