At Great American Ball Park, low-scoring outcomes have dominated this series. Both matchups between Cincinnati and Atlanta wrapped up with fewer than ten runs, defying typical expectations for this venue. The Reds have shown resilience by not only covering the run line as underdogs in both meetings but also keeping games within striking distance each time. July 31st brings another chapter to their tightly contested National League rivalry—one that keeps analysts looking closely at every pitch and swing. MLB same game parlay today.

Braves vs Reds Same Game Parlay Picks (July 31st, 2025)

This ticket leverages the Reds’ knack for staying close on the scoreboard alongside a conservative total run projection given past results. Matt Olson’s track record away from home suggests he could outpace others in accumulating bases tonight, bolstering offensive value within an otherwise modest scoring environment.

Pick 1: Run Line – Cincinnati Reds +1.5 – -285

Backing Cincinnati at +1.5 considers how they’ve managed to cover on the run line as underdogs against Atlanta twice already in this current sequence of games—a feat that has come through competitive pitching and timely defense rather than explosive offense from either side so far during this head-to-head stretch.

Pick 2: Total Runs – Under 9 – +105

'Under' appears favored based on two straight meetings where neither team generated enough firepower to breach double digits combined; pitching staffs are dictating pace more than hitters right now, making nine runs look like a high bar even though Great American is traditionally hitter-friendly.

Pick 3: Player Bases – Matt Olson Over 1.5 – -120

Matt Olson is delivering at a solid clip, averaging 1.77 total bases per game in the 2025 season—well above the 1.5 mark. While his latest stretch of five games shows just 5 total bases, that includes some quieter outings; in his prior ten games he accumulated 15 total bases, and over a broader 20-game span, he’s contributed regularly across the stat sheet.

Historically, Olson’s blend of doubles and home run power gives him consistent two-base potential. With his current form and strong lineup protection around him, he’s well-positioned to continue that pace. Facing a pitcher prone to giving up fly-ball contact and seeing at-bats in premium RBI situations, Olson has a clear runway to surpass the 1.5 total base line.
