The Atlanta Braves begin their three game series against the Boston Red Sox tonight at 6:20 p.m. CT on Bally Sports South. Fans can freely watch tonight’s matchup and the ensuing two games of this series by using the free trials offered by DirecTV Stream and Fubo TV.

The Braves are entering this series with a respectable 20-12 record, but they have lost five of their last six games. Notably, they were swept by the Los Angeles Dodgers in a three game series over the weekend. During that series, the Braves only scored six runs and allowed the Dodgers to score 20.

Due to recent losses, the Braves have fallen to second place in the National League East. The Philadelphia Phillies lead the division by three games with a 25-11 record. So, winning this series is imperative for the Braves, as they try to regain some momentum before facing the New York Mets this weekend.

Heading into tonight’s matchup, the Braves will need Marcell Ozuna to bounce back from a tough stretch of games. He is currently hitting 2-14 during the month of May, but he still leads the team in numerous offensive categories: Batting average, home runs, on base percentage, hits, and RBI. If the Braves want to knock off the Red Sox tonight, then they will need Ozuna and company to wake up their bats.

The Red Sox enter tonight’s game with a 19-16 record, as they are currently third place in the American League East. Despite being third place, they are only 4.5 games behind the division leading Baltimore Orioles. So, defeating the Braves in this three game series would keep them within reach of the division leaders.

Similar to the Braves, the Red Sox have lost three of their last four games. However, they are carrying some momentum from their 9-2 win over the Minnesota Twins on Sunday. After a few games where they struggled to score runs, that offensive explosion was key for the Red Sox to gain some confidence heading into tonight’s game.

One player to watch for the Red Sox is Tyler O’Neill because he leads the team with nine home runs. That is close to the league leaders, as Shohei Ohtani currently leads all MLB teams with 11 home runs this season. Since the Braves conceded so many runs against the Dodgers, O’Neill will likely have some opportunities to increase his number of home runs during this series.
