Key Stats
Cincinnati Reds
Nick Martinez (RHP) will get the start for the Reds in today’s game. Martinez has started the season 0-0 with a 4.76 ERA and has struck out 14 batter batters. Elly De La Cruz has been red hot to start the season and leads the team in most offensive categories. De La Cruz is batting .313 with 26 hits, 7 home runs, and an OBP of .412. He also leads the league in stolen bases with 15. Spencer Steer leads the team in RBIs with 19.
Philadelphia Phillies
The Phillies will send their ace Zach Wheeler to the mound for today’s game. Wheeler has started the season 1-3 with a 2.30 ERA and 38 strikeouts. Alec Bohm leads the team with a .337 batting average and an OBP of .430. Kyle Schwarber has hit a team-high six home runs and collected twelve RBIs, while Trea Turner has tallied 33 hits to start the season.
Game Prediction
Both of these teams came into this series on a hot streak. The Phillies took game one of this series with an impressive 7-0 shutout, but the Reds bounced back to take the next two games and the series lead.
It’s good timing for the Phillies to be able to send their ace Zach Wheeler to the hill to prevent a three-game skid. Wheeler has been lights out this year with a 2.30 ERA in four starts. Although the Reds offense is very good, Wheeler will keep them in check, and I like the Phil’s to be able to put up some runs on Martinez. Phillies take game four and split the series.
Final Pick
Philadelphia Phillies ML (-180)
