๐ฐ Reds vs. Braves prediction & best bet
Reds +1.5 (-118 via BetMGM)
The Braves have already clinched their division and are pretty much locked into the No. 3 seed in the NL, so what is their motivation to win by multiple runs here?
The Reds, at least, will likely start multiple hitters - like Carlos Jorge and Hector Rodriguez, for example - who will be looking to carve out their roles on the team moving forward. Singer is also posting a career-high 5.67 ERA, so he'll have more than enough motivation to pitch well and improve his season-long stats.
Reds +1.5 (-118 via BetMGM) is the best line available among the top MLB betting sites.
Score prediction: Reds 5, Braves 4
📡 SBR Edge: Reds Rally vs. Mahle
Current Reds hitters are slashing .481/.576/1.074 against Mahle across 27 career at-bats.
๐ฅ Best Reds vs. Braves player prop bet
JJ Bleday Over 1.5 total bases (+210 via BetRivers)
Not only has JJ Bleday gone over this line in two of his last three games, but he also has a favorable pitching matchup today.
Mahle throws fastballs 64.3% of the time to left-handed hitters, which is great for Bleday, who has a .508 expected slugging percentage against that pitch type. Mahle has allowed five or more hits in four of his last six starts, and Bleday's probability of recording two or more hits today (or just one extra-base hit) is higher than these odds suggest.
Bleday Over 1.5 total bases (+210 via BetRivers) is the best line available among the top sports betting sites.

๐ฃ Reds vs. Braves home run prediction
Sal Stewart Over 0.5 home runs (+650 via BetRivers)
While Sal Stewart has only homered once so far in September, he has hit seven or more home runs in each of the last two months, so he'll likely start heating up again soon. Luckily for Stewart, he's facing a pitcher against whom he's already had success.
Stewart is 2-for-3 in his career against Mahle, and both of those hits were home runs. With just a 1% chance of precipitation and comfortable temperatures today in Atlanta, Stewart is in a good spot to hit his third homer against Mahle. Stewart Over 0.5 home runs (+650) is the best line available among the top sports betting apps.
