The Atlanta Braves have gone into a rebuilding mode, but many were surprised at how they came roaring out of the gate. The Braves opened the season at 5-0, but it was a short lived feel good, as they have since gone in the tank at 9-17 over their last 26 games and enter their game tonight in Cincinnati on a three game skid. The Braves have allowed 27 runs in their last four games, and while starter Shelby Miller has been on the fast track to open the season, the pen behind him is depleted. Cincinnati will turn to Mike Leake, who has been pretty good himself with a 2.47 ERA on the season, and Leake has made it through seven innngs in five straight starts. The Braves are now 18-40 on the road in their last 58 vs. a team with a winning home record and have also dropped six straight as a road dog. Make the play on Cincinnati.
