Season series: Braves lead 4-2 Atlanta has lost 3 of its last 4 games after falling 3-2 against Cincinnati Friday while failing to cover as a +122 road underdog. The Braves outhit the Reds 7-5 while scoring both runs in the ninth inning to avoid being shutout in the loss. Cincinnati has won 2 of its last 3 games after Friday's win while covering as a -132 home favorite.

Braves vs. Reds picks and predictions Reds 4, Braves 3 Moneyline BET REDS (-102). Despite the story his stats may tell, Burns has shown his capabilities in the MLB. In just 6 starts, the young phenom has already faced some of the league's best offenses including the New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers. His ability to throw gas, eclipsing 100 MPH, makes him a fitting candidate to start during the Speedway Classic. The Reds added to their bullpen during the trade deadline, which will provide them the advantage necessary to win the game and series against a Braves team that has dropped 8 of its last 11 overall including 6 of their last 8 on the road. The Braves have also lost in 4 of Strider's last 6 starts. Run line/Against the spread PASS. There is better value on the Reds moneyline in this matchup. Over/Under BET UNDER 8 (-102). The Reds have avoided the Over in 9 of their last 11 games. They have scored 4 or fewer runs in 4 of their last 6 games while allowing 2 or fewer runs in 6 of their last 9.
