Cincinnati at Atlanta

Cincinnati won 11 of its last 14 games to make it into the postseason and the Reds will have Trever Bauer on the mound, and he has allowed only four earned runs with 39 strikeouts his last four starts with 29 innings pitched. Bauer has especially been effective on the road where he has given up only five runs in 34 innings with a microscopic .137 opponent batting average. Max Fried is expected to start for Atlanta and he has a 5.14 ERA in three career appearances against the Reds although he hasn't faced them this year. Cincinnati has won five of its last seven vs. left-handed starters, and six of its last eight vs. teams with winning records. The Braves have lost five of their last six playoff games as favorites, and they have lost seven of their last 10 playoff home games. Play the Reds.
