The Reds took game 1 of the series on Thursday by a score of 6-3.
Cincinnati Reds
If the Reds were to have a strong season this year, I think it would surprise a lot of folks, as most seem to feel it will be a down year for them.
Yes, it was only one game, but it was a nice sign to see them get that first victory over the year over a good team in Atlanta. That is something they will look to build on for the series and the remainder of the season.
In terms of winning their division, there is no question that is going to be a tricky one.
In the NL Central, both the Brewers and the Cardinals are going to be tough and Cincinnati is not on the same level as either one of those teams
Throughout the full 162 game slate, it will certainly be tough to hang with the top dogs in the division, but if they can at least keep pace then they will have a shot.
Tyler Mahle looked impressive in the first game of the year, as he went 5 innings, did not allow an earned run and struck out 7 batters.
Mahle having another strong year will be key for them, but there are lots of questions about some of the other guys in the rotation.
Unless some other guys really step up in the pitching department, it is likely to think that they are going to have to win games on offense.
Atlanta Braves
After winning the World Series in 2021, the expectations are undoubtedly high for this Braves team in 2022.
There are a lot of people that they can once again have a strong season and it is hard to doubt that. Based on who they have, that is reasonable to feel.
A huge loss clearly was first baseman Freddie Freeman, but now they have Matt Olson, which is quite talented and has a very bright future in this league.
Any team would like to keep one of the better players, but as mentioned, it is not as if they have nobody on their team.
With or without Freeman, they are still a very dangerous team, especially on the offensive side of the ball.
Max Fried had mixed results in his outing on Thursday, as he went 5.2 innings and allowed 5 earned runs.
He looked good early on in the game, but Cincy was eventually able to get to him, as they were also able to get 8 hits off of him.
Of course, nothing is guaranteed, but if key people can stay healthy and perform as they can, I expect this club to be strong in the pitching department. They have a solid rotation to go along with some talented arms in the bullpen.

Cincinnati Reds vs. Atlanta Braves MLB Prediction:
Based on the starters here, it is hard to have all that much confidence in either one of them.
Neither arm here is great, so it would not shock me if a decent amount of runs are scored.
I would say Atlanta wins the game, but I cannot trust laying the runs with them here.
Give me Cincinnati on the run line here.
