Atlanta Braves
Atlanta Braves had a strong bounce back by winning 9-1 Vs the Reds after losing 4-14 to the Phillies before that despite them winning the series 2-1 in the end. The Braves are having a really good season so far they are the 4th in the National League's standing after winning 14 of last 20 games this season.

Tyler Mahle (3-6, 4.23 ERA) will be on the mound for the Reds in game 2 on Saturday, Mahle's last start was against San Francisco Giants and he went 6.2 innings allowing 3 earned run and had 7 strikeouts in a game that ended as a 10-3 win for the Reds.
