Cincinnati Reds vs. Atlanta Braves Prediction
I’m on the Braves in this one. Brady Singer has been terrible in recent starts and if you told me a couple of months ago that Brady Singer vs. Tyler Mahle would be a pitching mismatch, I’d have thought you were nuts. But now, the Braves are just playing the better baseball and Singer has been awful over the last month and I think that the Braves take care of business in this one. Give me Atlanta in this one.
