Cincinnati Reds vs New York Mets Prediction
Brazoban has been strong through 26 innings with a 1.73 ERA and 0.92 WHIP, but he pitches for the Mets, and they’re back to their losing ways. I’m going to continue fading the Mets. Abbott has been decent with a 3.97 ERA and 1.46 WHIP through 56.2 innings. The Mets have lost 7 of their last 8 games, and they’ve scored 2 or fewer runs in 6 straight games. I have no use for the Mets. Give me the Reds and the plus money.
