Los Angeles Angels vs. Cincinnati Reds Prediction

I’m on the Reds here. We just saw Kochanowicz have some major struggles in his road debut against Houston a couple of outings ago, and now has to face the Cincinnati Reds at one of the toughest road ballparks in Major League Baseball for a pitcher. I think the Reds bounce back after that sluggish showing on Thursday against Miami with a series opening win here. Give me Cincinnati.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Cincinnati -165
