 Cincinnati and Atlanta will play their first postseason series against one another since the 1995 NLCS, a four-game Braves sweep in which the Reds scored a total of five runs. Since 2017, Cincinnati has scored 5.15 runs per game against Atlanta and 4.35 per game against all other opponents.

 The Braves lost three of their last four regular season games, with their starting pitchers lasting only 4.25 innings per start. Atlanta's starters have averaged an NL-worst 4.19 innings per game this season.

 The Reds won a road series against the Twins to finish the regular season and have won 11 of their last 14 games despite batting just .219 over that stretch. Cincinnati hit an MLB-worst .212 this season, the lowest batting average ever by a team to finish with a winning record.

 Freddie Freeman walked 45 times and struck out just 37 times while leading the majors with 37 extra-base hits. Freeman's .640 slugging percentage is the highest by a player with more walks than strikeouts since 2009 (Albert Pujols, .658; min. 200 PA).

 Joey Votto has a career .457 on-base percentage against the Braves, his second highest against any NL opponent (.472 vs. D-backs). Votto's 73 career walks against Atlanta are his most against any team not in the NL Central.

 Trevor Bauer and Luis Castillo -- the Reds' top two starters -- combined for a 2.45 ERA and three complete games. The pair's 189 combined strikeouts are the most by any team-leading duo in the National League this season.

HP - Scheurwater, 1B - Foster, 2B - Porter, 3B - West, LF - Wegner, RF - Carapazza

Though the Atlanta Braves enter the postseason following a third straight National League East title, the Cincinnati Reds are currently playing as well as any team in baseball's playoff field.
With two of the game's top pitchers on the mound, the Braves and Reds open their best-of-three NL wild-card series on Wednesday afternoon in Atlanta.

Powerful Braves host underdog Reds in playoff opener

ATLANTA (AP)  The scoreless innings kept piling up, along with the strikeouts. The shadows began to creep across the infield, and when the lights came on in a mostly empty stadium for a postseason game that began a little past noon, it seemed like this might go on forever.
Finally, Freddie Freeman had seen enough.
