The Cincinnati Reds are 9-15 this season and they have won two games in a row. Cincinnati has won the first two games in this series by a score of 7-6 in each game. The Cincinnati pitching staff has a 5.10 ERA, a 1.52 WHIP, and a .279 opponent batting average.

Trends

Texas is 7-1 in their last 8 game three’s of a series and 4-2 in their last 6 road games. The over is 6-1 in Texas’ last 7 games. Cincinnati is 17-35 in their last 52 games and 3-9 in their last 12 game three’s of a series. The under is 5-2 in Cincinnati’s last 7 games. 

Pick

Cincinnati comes into this game looking for the series sweep, while Texas will look to get back on the winning track. Cincinnati hasn’t had a ton of success so far this year, but they have scored 14 runs in the first two games of this series. The Reds will start Graham Ashcraft, who has allowed four earned runs over his last 17.0 innings pitched. Texas will start Jon Gray, who has allowed four earned runs over his last 7.1 innings of work. I like the under in this matchup.
