This is a 10* on CINCINNATI
The Reds may not have improved to the level they desired for 2019, but this is a team on the rise. Expect them to be a trendy "sleeper" for 2020. The pitching staff is good as only three teams in the National League have allowed less runs. They probably do need to add a "bat" in the offseason as they scored the 4th fewest runs among NL clubs and were last in the division in that regard. But they did win 4-2 on Saturday, beating a Pirates team whose future outlook is nowhere near as bright. Pittsburgh fell to last in the Central this year and probably will be there again at this time next year. Nothing is on the line Sunday at PNC Park (except pride) and although yesterday was their first win in nine tries here this season, we expect Cincinnati to be the ones to close out the season with a win. Does starter Tyler Mahle have the most inspiring numbers? Hardly. But, even though Trevor Bauer was originally going to start this game, there is a reason that the Reds are still favored today. It's a simple one. They are the better TEAM. Trevor Williams, who starts for Pittsburgh today, can't be trusted. He has a 5.58 ERA and 1.44 WHIP this season and those numbers have been even worse the last seven starts. Williams has allowed 4 HRs in his last two starts as well. Reds end the year on a high note.
