According to Vegas Insider, Cincinnati began the season with a projected over/under win total of 65.5 which would make them last place in the NL Central.

MatchPlug Prediction
Cincinnati held close in the first two games of this series, but can’t be trusted in the finale. They are just 1-10 in their last 11 road games against a right-handed starter, while Atlanta is 23-4 in their last 27 home games against a team with a record of losing.
The Reds are 1-5 too in Hunter Greene’s last 6 starts and Atlanta has won 8 of the last nine regular season games Strider started.
Now, the Braves may be 0-6 against the run line as a home favourite this season, and the Reds are 4-1 as an away dog to the run line, but these trends may not stay the same way for the whole season. So experts back Atlanta on the run line.
Final Prediction: Atlanta Braves Spread.
