Reds vs Braves Parlay Picks, Preview

Leg 1: Braves -1.5

Spencer Schwellenbach takes the bump for the Braves, and he's been a stud this season. Schwellenbach holds a 1-3 record with a 3.92 ERA and a 1.11 WHIP.

Is he really this good? Absolutely he is, and this is even a buy-low spot for Schwellenbach.

The Braves rake at home, hitting .262 with an OPS of .754.

This is a sell-high on the Reds after their win on Wednesday. Expect the Braves to put up plenty of runs on Thursday.


Leg 2: No Run First Inning

With Nick Lodolo and Schwellenbach on the mound, the NRFI is the play. The NRFI has hit twice in this three-game series, and it'll cash again on Thursday.

Schwellenbach will be calm and collected, as he'll throw a gem. But it's all up to Lodolo and the Braves' bats.

The Braves will likely get to Lodolo in the second inning, but the NRFI should still hit in the first.
