In six career games against the Reds, Noah Syndergaard has a 5-0 record with a 2.11 ERA and 48 strikeouts. Over the last 10 games, the Phillies are 7-3, batting .270 and outscoring their opponents by 19 runs. Mike Minor takes the mound for the Reds with a 0-6 home record and a 6.25 ERA. In 12 of Minor's starts, the Reds have been outscored by two runs or more in 11 of those games. Over their last 10 games, the Reds are being outscored by 23 runs. The Reds also have a league-worst bullpen with a 4.98 ERA. Play the Phillies runline (-120).
The Phillies have struggled to score lately but I think that changes in a big way Monday at Cincinnati. The Reds have lost lefty Mike Minor's last nine starts, and the Phils rank fifth in OPS versus southpaws (.772). Minor isn't likely to pitch deep into the game; he'll be followed by Cincinnati's MLB-worst bullpen (4.98 ERA). Noah Syndergaard is enjoying playing for a contender and should get solid run support. Play the Phillies -1.5 runs at -120.
Phillies starter Noah Syndergaard has been terrible since arriving in Philadelphia allowing six runs in 11 IP. Reds starter Mike Minor is arguably the worst starting pitcher in the MLB. Minor has a 1-9 record with a 6.24 ERA. The Phillies offense has been shut out the last two games but that will change against Minor. Take the Over.
