Cincinnati Reds vs Atlanta Braves Prediction
The Reds just can’t get out of their own way, and Singer is not a pitcher I’m excited to get behind with his 5.67 ERA and 1.56 WHIP. In his last 12.1 innings, Singer has allowed 21 hits and 21 runs. It’s been a nightmare of a September for Singer. Mahle has been decent this season with a 3.81 ERA and 1.22 WHIP through 144 innings, and he has a 2.29 ERA and a .208 allowed batting average in 70.2 innings at home. I’ll side with the Braves and the RL for max betting value.
