Why bet on the Cincinnati Reds?

The Reds head into the game with a 22-39- 0 record. They have a rough time playing road games and are only 10-22 in the season. Cincinnati currently holds last place in the NL Central division.

So far, the Reds’ pen received a workload near the league average. The group holds one of the highest ERAs among the MLB at 5.14. Cincinnati also collects its fair share of errors. In the field, the Reds average 0.55 errors per game and turn out double plays at a below-average rate nearing 0.58 per contest. Meanwhile, the team scores 4.38 runs per game with a batting average of 0.239 and is only good for a 20th-best record in the league.

Starting for the Reds is Tyler Mahle. He has an overall record of 2-5 and plays on the mound with a 4.66 ERA, lasting an average of 5.02 innings per outing, and records 10.4 strikeouts per nine innings pitched. The 27-year-old pitcher allows an average of 4.11 walks per nine and has given up seven home runs this season.

Why bet on the Arizona Diamondbacks?

The Diamondbacks have an overall record of 29-34-0. These are significantly better than Tuesday night’s visitors, giving them the overall edge. The team is 14-17 at home and is fourth in the NL West division.

Zach Davies gets the start. He holds an overall record of 2-3 and comes into the game with the following numbers: 4.21 ERA, 5.17 innings per outing, and 7.26 strikeouts per nine innings pitched. Looking at his walks numbers, Davies allowed 3.19 per nine and gave up eight home runs in total.

Arizona’s pitching staff has been one of the more active groups in MLB. The bullpen has one of the highest ERAs at 4.46. This season, the Diamondbacks face difficulties securing runs and average only 4.03 per contest. The hosts come into the contest ranked 29th in batting average. It’s also worth noting that the side struggles in the field and commits 0.69 errors per game. Nonetheless, the team puts ample pressure on opposing pitchers and holds the 11th-best record in steals.

Reds vs. Diamondbacks Betting Prediction

The pitching matchup gives the hosts advantage on paper. In addition to better ERA figures, Zach Davies has a better WHIP of 1.24 as opposed to Tyler Mahle at 1.34. We expect a strong performance from the latter, as the Diamondbacks do have trouble facing a more consistent pitching staff. It’s easy to back Cincinnati given the opening game’s results, but the Diamondbacks should be more comfortable this time around. We believe this is the perfect time for Arizona to get the important week and level the series.
