The Philadelphia Phillies and Cincinnati Reds face off on Friday in an MLB showdown at the Great American Ballpark. In the first game of this series on Thursday it was the Reds that secured the 6-2 victory. 

Phillies Betting Preview

To say it has been a disappointing start to the season for the Phillies might be an understatement. The offense on Thursday only scored two runs, and they didn’t score any runs after the 4th inning. The Phillies' offense is averaging 4.07 runs per game which is 24th in the league.  On the mound for the Phillies will be Taijuan Walker who sits with a 0-1 record and an ERA of 6.00. In his last start against the Cincinnati Reds, he went 4.2 innings giving up three hits and two runs. 

Reds Betting Preview

On the other side o this matchup is the Reds who sit with a 5-7 record and they had lost three games in a row before winning on Thursday. Wil Myers had a strong game finishing with two hits and two RBIs. On the mound for the Reds will be Connor Overton who sits with a 0-0 record and an ERA of 10.13. In his last start against the Phillies, he went four innings giving up six hits and four runs. Jason Vosler has had a strong season hitting three home runs and driving in nine RBIs.

Reds are 5-0 in Overton's last 5 starts. Reds are 5-0 in Overton's last 5 starts on grass. Under is 6-1 in Phillies last 7 after scoring 2 runs or less in their previous game. Over is 5-1 in Reds last 6 games following a win. Under is 9-2 in Phillies last 11 vs. National League Central.

Shane’s Free Pick

The Reds have found success in Overton’s starts, but this game is going to be different. The Phillies are going to have no issue running up the score against Overton who has been awful to start the season. I expect Walker to have a decent start and that will be enough to get the job done. Back the Phillies.
