The Braves have been beating the Reds senseless this series — won the opener 8-3 and followed it with another win behind Martín Pérez — and the market is now pricing Atlanta as a significant road favorite to complete the sweep. That price is where the edge lives. Spencer Strider is 3-0 with a 3.46 ERA since coming off the injured list, but he's allowed six home runs in five starts, five of them in his last two outings alone, and Great American Ball Park is the last place you want to send a homer-prone Strider. His wOBA against is drifting in the wrong direction and GABP's park factor will inflate his damage exposure. Cincinnati has won five of their last six games as a home underdog following a loss — which is exactly the situation today. Nick Lodolo faces a motivated Atlanta lineup, but the Reds at home protecting their house in a series finale, with a number that's been bid up by Atlanta's gaudy road record, represents a market mispriced off two days of dominance. The value is on Cincinnati at this price based on Strider's HR vulnerability and a park that punishes it. Take the Reds

Pro Picks
Atlanta at Cincinnati
The Cincinnati Reds, at 58-53 on the season, have moved to within 3.5 games of the last wildcard spot in the NL. The Reds are 6-3 over their last nine games, after splitting the first two games of this series at home vs. Atlanta. Their pitching has allowed four or fewer runs in six of the last nine games. Atlanta is 42-35 to the UNDER on the season as a favorite of -110 or more. The genuine interest here is the totals in Cincinnati home games. The Reds are 35-18 to the UNDER at home on the season, and 32-13 to the UNDER when facing an NL team with a team batting average of .255 or worse on the season. (17-6 in this spot at home). I like the UNDER in this one.
