Pirates vs. Reds odds, line, picks: Proven model reveals MLB picks for July 7, 2022 matchup

NL Central foes matchup when the Pittsburgh Pirates (33-48) and the Cincinnati Reds (28-53) kick off a doubleheader on Thursday afternoon, with the first pitch set for 2:10 p.m. ET. Both teams are listed at -110 (risk $110 to win $100) on the money line in the latest Reds vs. Pirates odds from Caesars Sportsbook, while the over-under for total runs scored is nine (see up-to-date odds for every game this week on our MLB odds page).

Before making any Pirates vs. Reds picks, you NEED to check out the MLB predictions from the SportsLine Projection Model.

The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every MLB game 10,000 times, and it is 271-232 on top-rated MLB money-line picks since the start of the 2021 season, returning well over $500 for $100 players. This is the same model that pegged the 2021 Atlanta Braves at 10-1 as one of three best bets to win it all last season. Anybody who has followed it has seen profitable returns.

The model knows Pittsburgh center fielder Bryan Reynolds is a versatile switch-hitter. He owns home-run power with the athleticism to play all three outfield positions. The 2021 All-Star is looking to continue his solid campaign. He currently leads the team in batting average (.260), home runs (15) and RBI (32). 

The model also knows Cincinnati third baseman Brandon Drury has natural home-run and run-producing abilities. Drury can drive the ball into the gap but also has a solid throwing arm from the corner. The 29-year-old is leading the team in home runs (17) and RBI (45). On July 4, he went 1-for-3 with a three-run homer. 

Now, the model has set its sights on Pirates vs. Reds. We can tell you the model is leaning over the total, and it also says one side of the money line has ALL the value. You ABSOLUTELY need to see it before locking in any MLB picks.
