The Reds came into this series hot but Cleveland took the first game and the will take the second game too. This game features two good pitchers and Bibee has been solid for the Guardians this season and is 6-0 on the road this season in his starts. Cleveland is also 5-1 straight up in their last six games on the road versus Cincinnati. The Reds have not done well against the AL this season going 0-5 against opponents. Cleveland is 24-10 this season when the money line is +125 to -125. The Guardians are hitting left handed pitchers well this season so they should be able to get to Lodolo. The Guardians are 13-4 this season against left-handed starters. Cleveland has the better bullpen and should be able to close out this game late if they have too, if they aren’t already leading from the start. They are more trustworthy in this spot as they try to consolidate their lead in the AL standings.

Best bet: take Cleveland on the moneline (ML).
