The Reds offense has scored 107 runs with a .236 batting average and a .319 on base percentage. TJ Friedl is batting .298 with two home runs and 11 RBI’s for the Reds.

Pick
Oakland comes into this game as the worst team in all of baseball and their pitching has been horrible this season. The Athletics have a team ERA of 8.01 and they have allowed 57 runs in their last six games. Cincinnati has struggled as well this season, but they are coming off of a sweep of the Rangers in their last series. Cincinnati is starting Luis Cessa, who has allowed 18 runs over his last 11.1 innings pitched. The Athletics will start Kyle Muller, who has allowed 16 runs over his last 13 innings pitched. I think we are going to see a higher scoring game here, but I like the Athletics to get the home win.
