Derek Carty's Braves vs Reds Pick: Value in Fading Abbott
By Derek Carty
There may be some value on Andrew Abbott's pitching outs prop. THE BAT X is projecting him to record 15.27 pitching outs, and oddsmakers are implying 17.54. The model believes there is a 67% chance he records fewer than 18 pitching outs. If you can get the under at +120 or better, there is great value here.

Bet Labs' Braves vs Reds Best Bet: System Backs Reds
By Bet Labs
This system identifies winning teams that are performing steadily, but not drawing overwhelming market attention. This system targets teams, with at least a breakeven win rate, that are coming off a modest, but positive result — having won their previous game by between one and seven runs.
Their prior moneyline price indicates they weren’t heavy favorites — just expected to win. When they return as moderate favorites again, and have a consistent streak of games either home or away, it suggests controlled momentum rather than volatility. The setup capitalizes on teams that are undervalued by the public due to their lack of flashy blowouts or extreme winning streaks, offering value where confidence exceeds perception.
Overall, this system is 329-163 (67%) and has generated an 11% ROI. This season, that ROI has jumped to 23% as the system is cashing 73% of its picks (16-6)
Pick: Reds Moneyline (-167)
