Prediction for Atlanta Braves vs Cincinnati Reds

I'm sticking with the Braves. Sale has been on a tear lately. In his last three starts, Sale is 2-0 with just one earned run on 13 hits and three walks in 19.0 innings. As for Aguiar, he is 1-0 in his last three starts with five earned runs in 13.2 innings.

On Wednesday, Atlanta didn't get on the offensive until the seventh inning. The Braves bullpen was great in 3.0 innings, with no hits, no earned runs, one walk, and three Ks. I'm sure Atlanta will be back in the field behind Sale on Thursday.
