Tonight, we begin a series between two of the worst teams in the MLB. The Reds are undoubtedly much better at home, but they'll come into tonight on a three-game losing streak after being swept by a struggling Nats team. Still, the Diamondbacks' offense has been better on the road. Cincinnati's Hunter Greene has only led the Reds to wins in two of his 10 starts this season. While it's likely that Arizona's southpaw Madison Bumgarner could run into some trouble, he should give the Diamondbacks the pitching edge. The Diamondbacks went 5-1 against the Reds last season, so I'll take the value in the road underdog.
Madison Bumgarner is 0-3 with a 5.25 ERA over his last four starts, but I like his chances for a win tonight in Cincinnati. The Reds rank 23rd in OPS versus lefties (.670) and trot out rookie Hunter Greene. While his fastball is electric, Cincinnati has lost eight of his last nine starts. Take the slight road dog.
