The Cincinnati Reds continue trying to get their record above .500, so they will look to win the third and final game of their weekend series against the Cleveland Guardians, who need to be more consistent if they want to avoid losing ground in the fight for the top of their division.

Cleveland Guardians vs Cincinnati Reds: Under 9

The Reds have been an inconsistent team on offense, however, their pitching has done a great job and has carried the team on many occasions, achieving an ERA of 3.70 and a WHIP of 1.17 (sixth best in the league), and here they will have Andrew Abbott as their starter, who has an ERA of 2.10 after six starts, and has allowed one run or less in five of those outings. The Guardians have also done a good job from the mound, and Luis L. Ortiz is one of those responsible, given that he allowed one or no runs in two of his last three starts. In this game we expect a great pitching duel, and a low-scoring game.

Injuries for Cleveland Guardians:

B. Lively Out.

Cleveland Guardians vs Cincinnati Reds: Reds Moneyline

The Guardians and the Reds have similar offenses, so in this game the pitchers will be the ones who make the difference, and with Abbott arriving in extraordinary form and being at home, we expect the Reds to take a step forward in this game, take advantage of the opportunities and take the victory.

Cleveland Guardians vs Cincinnati Reds Prediction

With two good pitchers facing each other, this will be a close clash until the end, but considering Abbot’s current form and that the Reds’ bullpen has looked very solid, we expect a game with few runs and in which the home team takes the win.
