Braves vs Reds Pickswise Expert Predictions

Money Line Pick
ATL Braves Win(-135)

Spencer Strider is still one of my favorite pitchers to watch. The right-handed starter for Atlanta has made 5 starts this season so far, and in his 26 innings of work, Strider has allowed 10 earned runs. He has recorded 32 strikeouts, however, and Atlanta is 5-0 in his outings. He has allowed 5 home runs within his last 2 starts alone, and walks are a concern when backing Strider, but he is still my preferred starter in this matchup.

Nick Lodolo also had a late start to his season, having made just 4 appearances thus far. The southpaw hurler has also had a home run issue, allowing at least 1 in each start. His 13 earned runs across 21 innings of work are a product of those home runs and poor batted-ball metrics in general. Lodolo did have his best outing of the season last time out, but that was against a weak Mets lineup. Give me the Braves.
