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.
