Cincinnati and Pittsburgh play the second of a three game set with Pittsburgh taking game one. Nick Lodolo will take the mound for the Reds. He is 7-2 this season with a 2.93 ERA. The Pirates will counter with Bailey Falter. He is 3-4 with a 3.86 ERA. The Reds are just 2-5 over their last seven. They are putting up 4.31 runs a game. They are seventh in the National league with a 3.86 team ERA. Lodolo has won four in a row, posting a 2.31 ERA in 23.1 innings over those four starts. The Pirates have won four of their last seven after going 3-3 on the road. They are putting up 4.13 runs per game. They are one spot above the Reds in national League team ERA at 4.03. Falter has lost two in a row. Lodolo is 3-1 in four starts with a 2.55 ERA and 0.77 WHIP in 24.2 innings on the road. Falter is 2-1 in six at home. The Pirates don’t have Skenes on the mound for this one and I look for the Reds to even the series.
