Braves vs Reds Preview, Parlay Picks
Braves ML
The Braves will send former All-Star Spencer Strider to the mound on Saturday.
Strider is much better than his early-season numbers indicate.
The right-hander has posted an ERA of 3.71 this season but has pitched much better lately, allowing five runs over his past three starts.
I expect a strong outing from Strider on Saturday to set the pace in this game.
Reds starter Chase Burns has struggled with an ERA of 6.26 in 27 1/3 innings.
Burns will struggle against this veteran Braves lineup.
Matt Olson 1+ Hit
I love this matchup for the Braves' first baseman.
Matt Olson leads the Braves with 109 hits on the season.
The veteran has collected six hits over his past five games and should stay hot on Saturday.
