Cincinnati Reds
The Reds have certainly not been a good team this year, but they are also not quite as bad as they were at the beginning of the season.
With all of the losing they did early on, people were starting to wonder if this group would be historically bad. Sure, they are not on that level, but it is not as if they have had some massive turnaround.
I am not saying that I thought Cincinnati would be great this season, but it was reasonable to expect they could be decent and that just has not been the case.
One major reason for the lack of success is pitching. That part of their game has not been good for the most part and it shows in a lot of their games.
It is not as if their staff has no arms on it, but they have not performed the way a lot of people thought they would and it has cost them.
In terms of their offense, they have been able to get production at times, but it has not been the most consistent. It really has been a hit-or-miss lineup.
All in all, this is a team that dug themselves a massive hole out of the gate and has really not been able to recover. I really do not see them playing all that much differently as the season goes on.
The Reds have been able to take the first two games in Arizona and will look for the sweep on Wednesday afternoon when Luis Castillo gets the start. Despite not having a great record, I have liked what I have seen from him and he will look to be sharp once again.
Arizona Diamondbacks
The Diamondbacks continue to be one of the more surprising teams in baseball in the 2022 season.
A lot of people are shocked at the fact that they are even relevant at this moment. It was a common belief that they would once again be a bottom feeder this year.
Even though they have looked better at times, I still would not call them a consistent team. They do need to get better in that area before they can really be taken seriously in the NL.
As is the case every season, the NL West is very competitive and Arizona is seeing that once again. They do not trail the Dodgers by some outrageous number, but they still find themselves 10.5 games behind them.
The top teams in that division are simply more loaded with top talent than Arizona and that certainly matters during a long season. Of course, it is not the answer to everything, but having that advantage certainly never hurts.
For this club to really be a threat in the West, I feel they would have to beef up on both sides of the field. I just do not feel what they have now is enough to hold strong in a loaded division.
Not that you can take your opponent lightly, but the Snakes were hoping this series with the Reds was one they could do damage in, but that has not been the case. When facing an opponent like that, it is important that they take care of business.
Getting the start in the final game of this series is Zac Gallen and he has been impressive so far. The right-hander comes into this game with a record of 4-2 and an ERA under 3.
MLB Baseball Betting Trends:

- The Diamondbacks are 1-4 in their last 5 games on grass.
Cincinnati Reds vs. Arizona Diamondbacks MLB Prediction:
The D-Backs have been frustrating so far in this series, but I do feel they will end the series how they want to.
There is no question that Castillo has been solid this season and might get more attention, but Gallen is the guy who has been more impressive so far.
I can see both starters being effective here, but I look for Gallen to be a little better and lead his team to victory.
Give me Arizona laying the short price at home.
