MLB Premium Play 07/14: Cincinnati Reds @ Atlanta Braves

MLB - 905 Cincinnati Reds @ 906 Atlanta Braves

(Starting Pitchers: T. Cingrani vs J. Teheran)

Tony Cingrani will start for the Reds today and he is coming from allowing two earned runs on three hits in seven innings at Milwaukee. He was great in that outing with a 2,57 ERA, 2.92 FIP and 2.67 xFIP and even though he has been a bit inconsistent lately, the truth is that I expect him to limit damages in here. Atlanta is quite banged up right now, their hitting in inconsistent and they will also be without Freddie Freeman and Brian McCann today. Therefore, I expect Cingrani to do a decent job today against a depleted Braves' lineup.

On the other hand, Julio Teheran will start for Atlanta today and he is coming from four runs (one earned) allowed on 7.1 innings against the Marlins last Tuesday. This was the third time in four games that Teheran struggled and I believe fatigue is the problem for him. The All-Star break will do wonders for him, but for now I expect him to struggle today, with the Reds taking advantage of his struggles in here. I see Cincinnati having a slight SP + offense edges today due to Atlanta's absences, therefore I'm taking the Reds as valuable underdogs in here.

Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 905 Cincinnati Reds ML (w/ T. Cingrani) @ -105 / 1.95 on Betonline
