Who will win Guardians vs Reds today: Reds moneyline (+119)
The Cleveland Guardians send Joey Cantillo to the mound tonight. His 3.46 FIP across the last two weeks suggests he's been a lot better than the 9.35 ERA, but Cantillo has still allowed a 43.3% hard-hit rate over his last two outings.
Unfortunately, the youngster is up against a Cincinnati Reds lineup that sports a 106 wRC+ against left-handed hurlers this season.
As for Brady Singer, he's calmed down a lot lately, posting an impressive 2.04 xERA over his previous two starts while surrendering just 0.66 HR/9 and 0.66 BB/9.
Singer's recent dominance and Cincy's success against southpaws give the Reds a clear advantage.
I'd play this to +100.
COVERS INTEL: The Guardians have struggled offensively on the road this season, posting an 82 wRC+.
Guardians vs Reds Over/Under pick: Under 8.5 (+109)
Neither team is in good offensive shape, with the Guardians carrying a horrible 45 wRC+ across their last seven games. The Reds have not been much better, recording a 70 wRC+ over the last week.
Even though both starters are vulnerable to runs, the bullpens are a clear strength at the moment. Cleveland’s relief corps owns a stellar 3.04 xERA over its last 22.1 frames, while Cincy’s pen has been even better, logging a 2.54 FIP in the last week.
With two cold offenses and a pair of bullpens in good form, don't expect a lot of scoring in the finale.
Playable to -110.
- ML/RL bets: 36-49, -17.34 units
- Over/Under bets: 46-37,+2.47 units
