The Atlanta Braves look to grab another series win tonight when they face the Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ball Park.
Ronald Acuna Jr. has suddenly caught fire, and my Braves vs. Reds predictions and MLB picks are backing this dangerous Atlanta lineup to put up big numbers on the reeling hosts.
Who will win Braves vs Reds today: Atlanta -1.5 (+113)
Cincinnati Reds starter Brady Singer has lost a full MPH off his sinker, an inch of vertical break compared to 2025. That’s why hitters are rocking a .404 wOBA and .501 xSLG vs. his primary pitch.
Add in a fastball RV/100 of -16.8 RV/100 and a cutter with an xSLG of .871, and it’s easy to see why his 4.8 HR/9 is the highest of any qualified starter in May.
That’s a recipe for disaster at Great American Ballpark in warm conditions, especially given the Atlanta Braves' fifth-lowest 0.94 GB/FB rate in May.
I’m backing the Braves -1.5 up to even money.
COVERS INTEL: Hitters are pulling Singer’s offerings at a clip of 50.8% this month, while registering a HR/FB rate of 36%—the highest of any starter with at least 15 innings pitched.
Braves vs Reds Over/Under pick: Over 9.5 (+100)
Graham Ashcraft is the latest Cincinnati bullpen arm lost to injury. The pieces left in place are getting rocked.
That’s going to happen when you allow a 53.5% FB rate over the past two weeks, with 19.1% of them clearing the fences. Both those marks are the worst in the majors in that span.
The weather conditions at GABP rank fifth-best in the league on Saturday, and Martin Perez’s 1.46 HR/9 and 14.8% HR/FB road metrics will help push the scoring into double-figures.
Take the Over to -120.
