Detroit and Cincinnati will now meet in a doubleheader on Sunday after the Saturday afternoon tilt was postponed due to rain. The Tigers kept the Reds in their freefall by winning 7-2 on Friday night in the series opener.
It’s looking like this shortened season is going to be a lost cause for the Reds. Cincinnati has started the year 2-5 and are already 3 games back from the Cubs in the NL Central. Nothing gets momentum like a doubleheader sweep though.
Cincinnati Reds
It’s obvious that the Reds major problem this season has been pitching. 3 of the Reds’ 5 losses have come when they’ve scored at least 4 runs. In fact, Cincinnati ranks 7th in runs/game with 5.57.
Just when you though the Reds’ offense was turning a corner after a 12-7 win over the Cubs on Wednesday, they were held to 2 runs on 3 hits in the series opener on Friday.
It will be Anthony Desclafani and Trevor Bauer going in some capacity in the double header. It’s looking like Desclafani will get the opener in his first action of the 2020 season.
Detroit Tigers
The Tigers offense is licking their chops at facing Desclafani in his first work of 2020. Detroit’s offense has been the biggest surprise of the season start up as they lead the majors in home runs with 15.
Jacoby Jones, Jonathon Schoop, and Miguel Cabrera have all hit 3 HRs through Detroit’s 5-3 start. That power has helped the Tigers rise to 2nd in the AL Central, just a game back from the Twins.
It’s looking like Rony Garcia will go for Detroit in the morning game. He made his major league debut on Tuesday, throwing 3.0 IP of 2 ER ball vs. Kansas City.

Free Cincinnati Reds vs. Detroit Tigers MLB Prediction:
Oddsmakers aren’t releasing the line for this one as of late Saturday because of the volatility in the pitching situation. The line will probably be skewed towards Cincinnati because people just don’t trust the Tigers yet.
4* Free MLB Betting Pick: Over
This double header will be a split, deciding which team gets which win is the hard part. The first game should at least be high scoring with two questionable pitching statuses.
