Preview

The Braves and Cincinnati Reds will play game 2 of their 3-Game series at Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati on Friday, braves have won game 1 of this series 9-1 and they are now 3-2 straight up Vs Cincinnati this season.

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.

Probable pitcher:

Spencer Strider (3-1, 3.35 ERA) will be on the mound for the Braves in game 2 on Saturday, Strider's last start was against Los Angeles Dodgers and he went 6 innings allowing 0 earned runs and had 7 strikeouts in a game that ended as a 3-5 loss for the Braves.

Cincinnati Reds

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. Reds are 15th in runs scored and 29th in runs allowed this season.

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.

Prediction

I don't expect this game to be any different to Friday's game, the Braves are the better team and have the better pitcher in this game Vs Cincinnati who loses by a margin every time they lose and they are now 0-9 straight up last 9 home games so I like the Braves run line in this game.
