Atlanta Braves vs. Boston Red Sox Prediction

I’m backing the Braves here. I just think that Bryce Elder continues to be an underappreciated option in this Atlanta rotation and facing a Boston lineup that can’t get out of their own way I think is going to benefit Elder here. Early is a solid option for Boston, but I think the Braves get to him here and get the job done in the end. Give me Atlanta.
