Cincinnati Reds vs San Diego Padres Prediction
I’m not thrilled to back either of these slumping teams, but we’re getting a low price to back Burns, and that’s where I want to be. Burns is a CY Young candidate with a 2.05 ERA and 0.95 WHIP. Burns has allowed 20 hits and 6 runs in his last 36.1 innings. In 30 road innings, Burns has a 1.80 ERA and .178 allowed batting avrage. That’s the one edge going for either of these teams that can’t get out of their own way. You’re giving me a cheap price with one of the best pitchers in the bigs this season. I’ll take it. Give me the Reds.
