Preview

The Cincinnati Reds and the Atlanta Braves will play the 4th game of 4-game series on Sunday. The Braves have the lead 2-1 in the series.

Cincinnati Reds

The Reds won the first game in the opening day 6-3 but have lost the last 2. Yesterday, the Reds couldn't do much against Kyle Wright, they just had 3 hits in the game and scored late in the 9th inning with an RBI single from Votto.

Cincinnati sent the right-hander Vladimir Gutierrez (0-1) who allowed two runs and on six hits in 4 1/3 innings as the reds lost 1-2 against the Braves.

Probable Pitcher: 

Hunter Greene (0-0, 0.0 ERA) will debut with the Reds in the 4th game of the series. The 22-year-old Greene didn't seem to be hampered by losing two consecutive seasons of development time to Tommy John surgery and the COVID-19 pandemic, as he turned in a 3.30 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 139:39 K:BB across 106.1 innings between Triple-A Louisville and Double-A Chattanooga in 2021.

Atlanta Braves

The Braves offense didn't show much in the last game as the Braves barely beat the Reds 2-1. Marcell Ozuna went 3 for 4 with a pair of doubles and an RBI while Ozzie Albies had an RBI. 

Kyle Wright did an outsanding job after tossing six shutout innings, allowing just two hits while striking out six on the way to the victory. 

Probable Pitcher:

Ian Anderson (0-0, 0-0 ERA) will be on the mound for the Braves in the 4th game of the series. was 9-5 with an ERA of 3.58 and 124 strikeouts in 24 appearances in his rookie season in 2021. He's pitched 2 games against the Reds and has allowed 3 runs in 12 innings against them.

BETTING TRENDS

Cincinnati are 2-5 SU in their last 7 games against Atlanta.

Cincinnati are 3-10 SU in their last 13 games on the road.

Atlanta are 11-2 SU in their last 13 games at home.

Atlanta are 13-5 SU in their last 18 games.

Prediction

Ian Anderson was a playoffs hero last season and has pitched well against the Reds. Cincinnati will send a rookie to start the game and he'll have a tough test against the 2021 World Champions. I'm going with the Braves to win again at home and cover the spread.

PICK: Braves -1.5  (-120)
