Cincinnati is 1.5 games back in the Wild Card race. The Reds won Abbott's last outing against Cleveland with him going five innings and only allowing two earned runs. However, Abbott has only gone more than five innings once in his last nine starts and owns a 7.50 ERA in his last three starts. The Guardians Shane Bieber struggled in his first start back from the IL but has a favorable matchup against a Cincinnati team hitting .206 against righties on the road in September.
