Has a team on an 11-game winning streak ever been a home dog? I honestly don't know but will attempt to find out. That's the case for the Reds, who also have the minor advantage of being off Thursday, while the Braves had to play extras in Philly. Let's be clear: Cincinnati pitcher Luke Weaver is not good. He has a 10.13 ERA this month ... and is 3-0 because Cincy is raking at the plate. Atlanta carries an eight-game winning streak into Friday. It's only the second road start for 20-year-old Braves pitcher AJ Smith-Shawver and certainly the best offense he has seen.
