The Cincinnati Reds and Atlanta Braves meet Tuesday in MLB action at Truist Park. Let’s preview this game and give out a pick and prediction.
The Cincinnati Reds have scored 12 runs in their last 3 games and 4 or more runs in 6 of their 9 games. The Reds are 3-3 this season when scoring 4 or more runs. Jonathan India leads the Reds with 11 hits and 3 RBI, while Tyler Stephenson and TJ Friedl have combined for 21 hits and 5 RBI. Luis Cessa gets the ball, and he is 0-0 with a 3.38 ERA and 2 strikeouts this season. Cessa is 0-0 with a 4.82 ERA and 5 strikeouts in his career against the Braves.
The Atlanta Braves have scored 8 runs in their last 3 games and 4 or more runs in 8 of their 11 games. The Braves are 7-1 this season when scoring 4 or more runs. Ronald Acuna Jr. leads the Braves with 16 hits and 5 RBI, while Orlando Arcia and Matt Olson have combined for 28 hits and 16 RBI. Kyle Wright gets the ball, and he was 21-5 with a 3.19 ERA and 174 strikeouts last season. This will be Wright’s second career game against the Reds.
The Reds are 8-20 in their last 28 road games and 10-25 in their last 35 overall. The Braves are 45-16 in their last 61 home games and 35-16 in their last 51 Tuesday games. The under is 8-3-1 in Reds last 12 road games. The under is 7-3 in Braves last 10 Tuesday games. The Reds are 3-7 in the last 10 meetings in Atlanta and 2-5 in the last 7 meetings.
The Atlanta Braves are comfortably the better team here, and it’s only a matter of time before the wins start to pile up, particularly at home. The Cincinnati Reds continue to have offensive issues and they’re not finishing games. Not excited about Kyle Wright making his first start, but the Braves should roll. Give me the Braves and the RL for max betting value.
