Cincinnati Reds vs Minnesota Twins Prediction

I might take a stab on the Reds here. At least some of that is due to Richardson’s recent struggles. He’s given up nine earned runs combined over his last three starts in 12.2 innings total. Richardson hasn’t gotten past 4.2 innings in any of those outings, either.

On Friday the Reds had one big inning in the seventh and rode the wave to the win. Overall the pitching was pretty solid behind Julian Aguiar (6.1 innings; three earned) and there were a couple of big hitting performances. I think the Reds have a decent shot at keeping it going.

Andrew Jett's Pick: Cincinnati Reds +136
