Key Stats
Cincinnati Reds
Andrew Abbott will get the start for the Reds in today’s game. Abbott has started the season 0-0 with a 3.38 ERA and struck out four batters. Spencer Steer leads the team with a .448 batting average, three home runs, 12 RBIs, 13 hits, and an OBP of .500.
New York Mets
The Mets are expected to start Sean Manaea for today’s game. Manaea has started the season 0-0 with a 0.00 ERA and eight strikeouts. Francisco Alvarez leads the team with a .333 batting average and eight hits, while Pete Alonso has hit two home runs. Brett Baty has a team-high five RBIs and an OBP of .367.
Game Prediction
The Mets have been terrible this year. Their pitching has kept them in games, but their offense has not been able to produce consistently. With Manaea on the mound today, Cincinnati’s offense will struggle, which opens the door for a NY win. On the other hand, Abbott should be able to keep this stagnant Mets offense off the board. I don’t trust the Mets, so I am rolling with my gut and taking the Reds to win and clinch the series.
Final Pick
Cincinnati Reds ML (-115)
