Cincinnati Reds vs. Athletics Prediction
I’m on the over here. Hunter Greene has been a magnet for hard contact and that’s not going to go well here against an Athletics team that’s hitting well against right-handed pitching right now, while the Reds can get to Luis Severino, who has pitched well as of late but is still having a lot of issues pitching at home so far this season. All in all, I think the over is worth the look here so give me the over here.
