Team Recent Performance

Atlanta Braves

Their lone victory came during a 10-7 slugfest against Kansas City on July 28, where they covered the closing number as -1.5 favorites. More inconsistency would emerge from that point forward, with the 0-1 and 6-9 losses adding more notches to the in-field spread case. There have been many high-scoring affairs for the Braves; however, three out of the last five have gone OVER. Lost leads due to backsliding pitching are their mountain of regret.

Cincinnati Reds

Victories include wins against rival foes like the Dodgers and the Rays; Los Angeles fell on July 30 by a 5-2 count. Even when close, like the 4-5 loss from July 29, the +1.5 spread was covered. Defensively, the Reds have kept games tight, resulting in all five matchups going under the total, in line with a recent trend of low-scoring, well-pitched contests.

Team Head-to-Head Matchup

When two teams face each other, the Atlanta Braves definitely have an advantage offensively to the Cincinnati Reds. The Braves make an average of 4.60 runs and 8.60 hits per game as the Reds tally only 3.30 runs with 7.90 hits. Both teams are so equal with draws of nearly 3.10 walks by Cincinnati against 3.00 at Atlanta. On the mound, both suffer from a strikeout from Atlanta averaging 10.00 while Cincinnati at 10.50. Interestingly, both teams share a 4-6 over/under record in their last ten, reflecting recent low-scoring trends. In summary, with the strongest offensive production of all, Atlanta takes this one in the statistical category.

Betting Trends

Atlanta Braves

They aren’t very good at covering the spread lately, having been just 1-4 against the spread in their last five. The story is quite similar with their road performance-coincidentally short with the same distance-20-35 against the spread away from home, painting a picture of a team that replicates its disappointing form in all of the other ballparks visited. As for totals, three of their past five games had gone OVER, whispering a slight increase in their offensive display or leaking from the pitching department. However, at home, they’ve brought an OVER only in 19 of their last 52 games, strengthening the much larger, more general trend of lower scoring when played at Truist Park.

Cincinnati Reds

Cincinnati Reds have been a decent bet against the spread recently as they have gone 4-1 in their last five outings. On the road, they are performing almost evenly at 27-26 against the spread, which is a big sign of toughness as away games go. But totals have always leaned more towards the UNDER line, with none of their last five games exceeding it. A further example is their home field, with just 17 of their last 55 OVER in a low-scoring affair when the Cincinnati Reds come to play.

SPORTBOOK.AG’s Prediction

The Cincinnati Reds will win and cover the spread with the total staying under 9.5.
