At 4:10 ET, my NL Central TOY selection is on the Cincinnati Reds and Milwaukee Brewers to go over the total. The Reds entered this series having played 5 consecutive unders. That changed yesterday when they combined with the Brewers for 11 runs. The bats will be running hot again for this afternoon's game.

Neither of today's starters inspires much confidence right now. Wilson got trounced by the Tigers in his last start. He has a 8.31 ERA his last 3 starts. Abbott has been better than Wilson but still has a 5.29 ERA his last 3 starts. The Reds used up a lot of relievers in preserving yesterday's victory. The (4) 2024 meetings between these divisional rivals have now finished with 18, 14, 9 and 11 runs, an average of 13 per game. Play on the Over.
