Reds vs. Rangers Picks
Money Line Pick for Reds vs. Rangers
- Cincinnati Reds ML (4 Units)
The Reds have the edge in this game because they’ve played well offensively in recent games. Even though they’re batting .200 against right-handers, they’re going up against Leiter, who struggled on the mound in recent starts, giving up 12 runs in his last four starts. He gave up seven runs in his last two home starts and will have a hard time slowing down the Reds.
Texas will have a hard time keeping up with the Reds because Burns has been dominant on the mound, going back to last season, giving up only two runs in his last 17 innings pitched. With Cincinnati’s bullpen also playing well, expect them to keep Texas’ offense in check. Take Cincinnati on the money line.
Over/Under Pick for Reds vs. Rangers
- Under (4 Units)
The Reds average 3.14 runs per game. They’re batting .200 against right-handers, and they’re facing a starter who gave up eight runs in his last three starts. The Rangers average five runs per game. They’re batting .264 against right-handers, and they’re facing a starter who gave up two runs in his last 17 innings. Don’t expect these teams to score enough runs to push the score over the total. The Rangers and Reds played under the total in two of their last three meetings.
