Philadelphia Phillies vs Cincinnati Reds Prediction
You can make a case for the Reds with Abbott on the mound, as he’s been strong this season with a 2.34 ERA and 1.13 WHIP. However, the Reds continue to run hit or miss, while the Phillies are rolling with wins in six of their last seven games. Walker has also allowed just 28 hits and nine runs in his last 27.1 innings. In 35.1 road innings, Walker has a 2.80 ERA and .250 allowed batting average. Should be a fun pitching matchup, but I’m rolling with the Phillies as the hotter team.
