Cincinnati Reds vs San Diego Padres Prediction
In a battle of two struggling teams, I’m looking at the under in this spot. We have two All-Stars on the mound who have been strong in these road/home splits. In 32 road innings, Abbott has a 2.81 ERA and a .238 batting average allowed. In 36 home innings, Buehler has a 3.50 ERA and a .209 batting average allowed. Buehler is coming off six great innings against the Phillies. The Padres aren’t winning because a star-studded lineup can’t produce. The Reds finished last week with cold bats. Give me the under instead of trying to decide which team finally decides to show up.
