The Braves beat the Reds 8-6 in 11 innings on Wednesday. Atlanta has now won seven of its last eight and three in a row. Braves' left-hander Kyle Muller (2-3, 2.88 ERA) is 1-0 with a 2.45 ERA through his last three starts. The team has won four of his last six starts and this is a favorable matchup for Muller as the Reds have been hitting right-handers much harder than lefties. Muller beat the Reds on June 27 while allowing just one hit in five scoreless innings with nine strikeouts.

The Reds hand the ball to Vladimir Gutierrez (7-3, 4.15 ERA) who has been pitching really well lately, but I think the red hot Braves will get to the rookie.
