The Cincinnati Reds will play the Boston Red Sox in Game 2 of their series at Fenway Park on Wednesday night.

The Cincinnati Reds are 17-31 this season and have won five of their last six games. Cincinnati is coming off of a Game 1 by a score of 2-1 on Tuesday. The Cincinnati pitching staff has a 5.41 ERA, a 1.44 WHIP, and a .251 opponent batting average this season. The Reds offense has scored 201 runs with a .226 batting average and a .299 on base percentage. Brandon Drury is batting .233 with eight home runs and 26 RBI’s for the Reds this season. The projected starter for Cincinnati is Hunter Greene, who is 2-6 with a 5.89 ERA and a 1.51 WHIP over 44.1 innings pitched this season.

The Boston Red Sox are 23-27 this season and have lost three of their last four games. Prior to the Game 1 loss, Boston lost three out of the five games played against Baltimore. The Boston pitching staff has a 3.95 ERA, a 1.20 WHIP, and a .231 opponent batting average. The Red Sox offense has scored 235 runs with a .258 batting average and a .315 on base percentage this year. Rafael Devers is batting .343 with 11 home runs and 26 RBI’s for the Red Sox this season. The projected starter for Boston is Garrett Whitlock, who is 1-1 with a 3.49 ERA and a 1.14 WHIP over 38.2 innings pitched this season.

Cincinnati is 17-37 in their last 54 road games and 6-21 in their last 27 game two’s of a series. The under is 5-0 in Cincinnati’s last 5 interleague games. Boston is 13-4 in their last 17 games against the NL Central and 7-4 in their last 11 home games. The under is 4-1-1 in Boston’s last 6 Wednesday games. Cincinnati is 2-12 in these two teams last 14 head to head meetings.

The Reds took Game 1 of this series and held Boston to just one run. On Wednesday, Boston has the pitching advantage with Whitlock on the mound, who has only allowed more than three runs in one of his last five starts. It should be noted that two of those starts only last three innings. For the Reds, they are starting Greene, who allowed five runs over five innings pitched against the Cubs last time out. I like the Red Sox to jump on the Reds early in this one and win by at least two runs.
