Phillies vs Reds Prediction 

Philadelphia was able to have a huge eighth inning on Monday night to extend their winning streak and they are up six games on the Mets in the East. The Phillies are 32-28 on the road this season, while the Reds are 33-27 at home. Cincinnati is trying to make a push in the wild card race, but they are in danger of dropping to fourth in the NL Central. The Reds are starting Singer, who has allowed 4, 0, 1, and 7 earned runs in his last four outings. The Phillies are going with Suarez, who has allowed 5, 3, 1, and 6 earned runs in his last four starts. Neither pitcher is playing very well right now and I think the Reds are worth a look at this price.
