Cincinnati Reds and Atlanta Braves head-to-head record
The Atlanta Braves have lost three of their last five games against the Cincinnati Reds. The most recent meeting between the two teams was on September 10, 2024, and it ended in a close 1-0 win for the Reds. As shown by their 9-4 as well as 4-1 wins in the month of July 2024, the Reds have both strong offense and good pitchers. On the other hand, the Braves continue to keep games close, as shown by their two 7-6 wins in June 2023. Because Cincinnati has been winning a lot lately and Atlanta can keep games close, this game could come down to whether the Braves offense can come through against the Reds' pitchers or whether Cincinnati can keep winning.
