The read

Look, if you've watched Bryce Elder this year, you know that 4.50 ERA and .255 BAA paint the picture—he's hittable and doesn't miss enough bats to get out of jams. Meanwhile, Crochet's 2.04 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, and 89 strikeouts in 75 innings show he's overpowering hitters and keeping the ball out of play, which is exactly what you want facing a Braves lineup that's top-heavy but thin after Baldwin and Riley. Boston's offense isn't world-beating, but with Toro and Narváez swinging it well, they should scratch across enough against Elder. If you've got any guts, you take the Red Sox to outduel Atlanta in their own park behind the better arm.
