Diamondbacks vs. Reds Picks
Money Line Pick for Diamondbacks vs. Reds
- Arizona Diamondbacks ML (4 Units)
The Diamondbacks have the edge here because they’ve done a better job offensively and scored 11 runs in their last three games. They’ve had a lot of success against left-handers, and they’re going up against Lodolo, who struggled on the mound in recent starts, especially at home, where he gave up 12 runs in his last three starts. With Cincinnati’s bullpen also struggling, they will have a hard time slowing down the Diamondbacks.
The Reds will have a hard time keeping up offensively because they struggled in recent home games, scoring eight runs in their last three home games. They haven’t been very good against left-handers, and they’re going up against Rodriguez, who gave up seven runs in his last four starts. He gave up seven runs in his last three road starts, so expect him to keep Cincinnati’s offense in check. Take Arizona on the money line.
Over/Under Pick for Diamondbacks vs. Reds
- Under (4 Units)
The Diamondbacks average 4.31 runs per game. They’re batting .273 against left-handers, and they’re facing a starter who gave up eight runs in his last three starts. The Reds average 4.27 runs per game. They’re batting .230 against left-handers, and they’re facing a starter who gave up seven runs in his last three starts. Don’t expect these teams to score enough runs to push the score over the total.
