Game two of the series will see yet another inter-league matchup between the Reds and the A’s.
Cincinnati Reds
The Reds are 5 games under .500, but their offense is cooking as of late. They are coming off a series against the Cardinals, where they split the four games, but they scored 37 total runs. The Reds will get an extra bat in the lineup because of the DH so keep an eye on which player takes over this role.
Sonny Gray will be back on the mound for game two of this series. Gray has yet to record a win with his new team, posting a record of 0-4. His earned run average of 3.89 is not the worst for not winning a game. The Reds will need to score some early runs to give Gray a lead, otherwise Gray could be in for another long outing.

Speaking of their offense, the Reds have managed to produce an average of 4.2 runs per game. Eugenio Suarez leads the team in home runs with 10. The problem lies with their guys hitting for average. Jesse Winker leads the team with a .243 average. Note that this is the leading hitter with more than 108 plate appearances. Look for guys like Votto and Suarez to show their power to a team they do not play very often.
Oakland Athletics
The A’s are also a below .500 team and have continued to play poorly, going 2-8 in their last 10 games. They have had some recent success in inter-league games and will hope that is enough to get them back into the win column.
Brett Anderson will now take the mound in this game for the A’s. He has been solid this season, posting a record of 4-2. His earned run average is 3.89. The key for Anderson will be to keep the Reds quiet early. The Reds can score runs in bunches, so not allowing a huge inning will be how Anderson can win this game.

The offense for the Athletics has been below average through the first month or so of the season. They score 4.69 runs per game, but this ranks only 18th. Their batting average as a team is .240, but this is only ranked 20th. Look for Marcus Semien, their guy leading the team in average, to provide a spark for the A’s.
