Cincinnati Reds vs Minnesota Twins Prediction

I’m going to try the Reds. Lowder is on a pretty nice run lately. Over his last three starts Lowder is just 1-1 but he’s given up only one earned run across 15.1 innings of work. As for Festa, he’s 0-3 with 15.0 innings and eight earned runs in his last three outings.

On Saturday the Reds had one big inning with a whopping nine runs in the fourth. Outside of that Cincinnati only scored one other run. Regardless, the pitching was great and only used one bullpen arm (Brent Suter). The Reds should be set up well for Sunday.
