Reds vs. Braves picks and predictions

Prediction

Reds 4, Braves 3

Money line

BET ON THE REDS (+125).

Cincinnati has scored 4 runs in 2 of its last 3 games and 5 runs in 6 of its last 10. Although it struggled coming out of the All-Star break, it faces a Braves team that has played 3 games in the last 2 days and has scored 3 runs or fewer in 2 of its last 3 games.

In what should be a pitching duel between two All-Stars, the Reds’ fresher legs should give them the advantage to steal a game on the road.

Racing Line/Against the Spread

PASS.

The Reds have better value on the moneyline.

More less

BET UNDER 8 (-115).

Both Greene and Lopez have a phenomenal ability to limit scoring and keep runners off the basepath. The Reds have scored 4 runs or fewer in 3 of their last 4 games, while the Braves have scored 3 runs or fewer in 3 of their last 5 games. Expect a low-scoring game on Monday.
