The Cincinnati Reds want to get their record back to .500, and they know this series against the Chicago White Sox, one of the worst teams in the league, is a great opportunity to do so.

Chicago White Sox vs Cincinnati Reds: Reds -1.5

The Reds have been fairly productive on offense this season, scoring an average of 4.71 runs per game, and while they don’t have big names, their pitchers have also done a decent job with a collective ERA of 3.71. The CWS, on the other hand, have been very poor offensively, having the worst collective AVG. in MLB with .215, and averaging just 3.39 runs scored. Considering the visitors’ problems, we expect Nick Lodolo, who has allowed 2 or fewer runs in two of his last three starts, to have another good performance and lead the Reds to a comfortable win.

Chicago White Sox vs Cincinnati Reds: Under 9

The White Sox are quite weak on offense, but they are a decent pitching team, and their starter in this game, Jonathan Cannon, has done a good job recently, allowing 2 or fewer runs in three of his last four starts, so he could give the Reds problems. Considering that and Lodolo’s presence, we expect a low-scoring game.

Chicago White Sox vs Cincinnati Reds Prediction

Lodolo is one of the main pieces of the Reds’ starting rotation, and he knows this game will be important to build confidence, so we are confident that he can limit a poor visiting offense. In addition, his teammates will surely support him with the bat to take a victory by at least two runs.
