The Braves are coming into this game with an 81-69 record this season and they have not been playing well in their recent games. They have lost their last 2 straight as well as 3 of their last 5 games and their pitching has been awful in these, allowing 9 runs in each of their last 2 games. Their offense has also struggled in those as they have scored 2 runs or less in each of their last 2 as well as 3 of their last 5 games, scoring just 2 runs total in their last 2 games. They are going up against a Reds team that is 73-78 this season, but they have been better in their recent games. They have won 2 of their last 3 games and their offense has been good in these, scoring at least 8 runs in 2 of those 3 games. Grant Holmes is starting for the Braves in this game and he is 2-1 with a 3.79 ERA this season. He has been pitching well recently, but he has also been serving more as a reliever and has not been pitching more than 1 inning in his starts. This will likely be a bullpen game for the Braves and their bullpen has not been great recently. Holmes has made a few starts this season where he did go at least 5 innings, but he struggled in those with 10 earned runs allowed in his 17 innings pitched, and he is going to struggle in this game with the Reds offense heating up recently. Brandon Williamson is starting for the Reds in this game and he is 0-0 with a 2.08 ERA this season. He has only made 3 starts this season but he has not allowed more than 1 earned run in each start. He has also been pitching deeper in each start, going 5 innings in his last start and only allowing 3 hits. The Reds do not have much to play for here, but they can still play spoiler for the Braves who are currently fighting for a Wild Card spot right now, and the Reds are 3-0 against the Braves this season. The Reds will win this game at home.
