Will a new manager make a difference for a team that has no talent on the roster? The quick answer that has already shown since the Reds fired Price is no. The Reds need to find some talented players or at least try to field a team that can be competitive in the game. The Braves, who have had some struggles are at least looking a lot better than the Reds and that is saying something with how poorly the Braves have played in the past.
Offensively the Reds have seen Jesse Winker starting to hit the ball at a decent clip as he is hitting .283 on the year. The power hitter for the Reds is Adam Duvall and he has hit 3 homers with 9 RBI's, but he is hitting only .171.
The Braves have managed to get Ryan Flaherty to be the decent hitter on the season with a .362 average. The power hitter has been Ozzie Albies who has managed to park 6 in the stands. Leading the run driving effort for the Braves is Preston Tucker with 18 runs driven in. The Reds are planning on sending out Tyler Mahle. Mahle has been able to throw a total of 21 innings in 4 starts on the year. He has managed to strike out a total of 20 batters with a 1-3 record, but has a horrid 5.14 ERA, which is actually a good ERA for the Reds this year.
The Braves will counter with Brandon McCarthy. McCarthy on the year has been able to throw 21.2 innings on the year in his 4 starts. McCarthy has struck out 18 batters, but has a great 3-0 record on the year. He has posted a great 2.91 ERA.
Betting Trends for vs
The Braves offense is spread out between several different players and the power hitter is not hitting a dismal .171 like Duvall. Throw in the fact that the Braves have a pitching staff that knows how to shut down a good offense, let alone a horrible one and it is easy to call this one for the Braves. The Braves win this game rather easily based off of strong pitching from McCarthy. Final score Prediction, Atlanta Braves win 7-2.
