The Atlanta Braves are heading to the Midwest to take on the Cincinnati Reds in a four-game series. The pitching matchup for this game features two starters who are near the bottom of the National League in ERA.
The Braves are sending out Mike Minor who has a 7.09 ERA while Mike Leake has only a slightly better ERA at 6.21. Both teams bullpens better ready to go in this game if these two pitchers have another poor pitching performance.
