The Cincinnati Reds and Atlanta Braves meet Wednesday in MLB action at Truist Park. Here’s a Braves vs. Reds Prediction. This article will include a Braves vs. Reds Pick.
The Cincinnati Reds are 73-84 on the year and play the Blue Jays next. The Cincinnati Reds are batting .229 on the season, have a .306 OBP, and have a .394 slugging percentage. The Cincinnati Reds’ pitching staff has a 4.86 ERA and a 1.45 WHIP. Sal Stewart leads the Cincinnati Reds with 161 hits and 110 RBI, while Elly De La Cruz and Tyler Stephenson have combined for 254 hits and 130 RBI.
Andrew Abbott gets the ball for the Cincinnati Reds, and he is 6-11 with a 4.70 ERA and 125 strikeouts this season. Abbott is 0-0 with a 1.74 ERA and 9 strikeouts in his career against the Atlanta Braves.
The Atlanta Braves are 92-65 on the year and play the Marlins next. The Atlanta Braves are batting .248 on the season and have a .311 OBP and a .410 slugging percentage. The Atlanta Braves’ pitching staff has a 3.62 ERA and a 1.25 WHIP.

The Reds aren’t a team I’m excited to back at this point in the season. Abbott has also been riding the struggle bus with a 4.70 ERA and 1.47 WHIP, and he’s allowed 15 hits and 9 earned runs in his last 10.2 innings. Sale looks like a CY Young contender with a 2.18 ERA and 0.99 WHIP, and he has a 1.66 ERA and .202 allwoed batting average at home. A complete mismatch on the mound. Give me the Braves and the RL for max betting value.
