The Reds were shelled by the Chicago Cubs in a game that did not even end up being close. Look for that type of shelling to continue in the game here. Minor is not that good of a pitcher on the year so far and the Braves are coming in with an offense that has been very consistent on the season so far and have ended up playing great lately. Now, I am taking the over in the game here as I think the Reds offense will score a couple of runs, but the Braves are going to take over the game and push this total over the mark.
