The Atlanta Braves had the worst spring record in each of the last two years. They also finished last in the NL East a year ago, and little was expected this season. They have certainly overachieved at 54-66 on the season, while the Reds have just not been very good at all. Cincinnati has some big bats, but the pitching has been ridiculously poor, allowing 5.52 runs per contest. Julio Teheran gives the Braves he edge in his one as he is 4-2 lifetime vs. the Reds, and as a team, he Reds have averaged just 3.17 runs per game against Teheran and the pen (just 2.75 runs a game at home). It will be tough for the Reds to win when they don't score much, and Teheran has proven worthy. Play Atlanta.
