<p>
<b>Boston: </b>Rick Porcello (15-7 4.27 ERA)<br />
<b>Atlanta: </b>Sean Newcomb (11-7 3.85 ERA)
</p>

This game is Porcello's first start of the season against the Braves, and in his career, he sports a record of 2-1.

<p>
In Porcello's 39 career interleague starts he is 20-8 with an ERA of 4.13. The Red Sox have won six of his last eight road starts, and they have won his last 12 interleague starts.
</p>
<p>
In Newcomb’s last start he was tagged up for six earned runs on eight hits in only four innings in an 8-5 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays. To say he has been up and down as of late would be an understatement, as the Braves have lost two of his last three starts where he gave up 13 earned runs in the two losses, but none in the one win. Newcomb has given up at least five earned runs in three of his last four starts.
</p>
<p>

Boston at Atlanta Prediction 09/04/2018

So, the Red Sox have won Porcello's last 12 interleague starts, and the Braves have lost Newcomb’s last four interleague starts. Look for those trends to continue, as it is hard to go with the Braves considering Newcomb has given up at least five earned runs in three of his last four outings. Porcello did not have the best last start either, but he has the best lineup in the Majors backing him up. That lineup will get to Newcomb in this interleague game, and the Red Sox will take Game 2 and go for the series sweep tomorrow.
