Free MLB Pick
Reds/Diamondbacks Over 8.5 runs (loss)
Rotation #907-908 | 4:15 PM ET
Abbott/Bratt (listed pitchers)
If the Diamondbacks want to secure a playoff spot, they need to start beating teams like the Reds. Cincinnati won’t make it easy, though. The Reds have a very good offense against left-handers and one of the better slugging percentages in baseball in day games. Both teams are much better against left-handed pitching than they are against righties. Neither bullpen is particularly solid, so this total looks a bit too low. Expect a higher-scoring game. Take the Over.
