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. Atlanta are 5th in runs scored and 17th in runs allowed this season.

Cincinnati Reds have lost last 9 game at home this season after adding another loss to the Braves on Friday (1-9) Cincinnati are having a terrible season as they are dead last in the National League's standing so far and they will face the Braves again twice at home.

Probable pitcher:
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.
