Atlanta Braves vs Cincinnati Reds Prediction

I might try the Reds here. Williamson hasn’t been too bad over his three September outings. In that trio, Williamson has 13.0 innings with three earned runs on seven hits and three walks. It’d be nice to see him notch a quality start with at least 5.0 innings here.

In their weekend series, Cincinnati got their offense going again in the first two games, posting a combined 19 runs. Sunday’s output fizzled though (two runs), so the Reds bats will need a good showing on Tuesday.
