Cincinnati Reds
Musgrove was solid in his last outing as he put in a quality start, but got the no-decision in a 5-9 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks. He went six innings giving up five hits and two earned runs while he struck out six and walked none.
In four starts this season Musgrove owns a solid strikeout (8.25 K/9) to walk (1.80 BB/9) rate, while he has done a good job keeping the ball in the park (0.72 HR/9). The end result is a sparkling 2.16 ERA and a still solid 3.25 FIP.

It was a rough outing for DeSclafani who didn’t put in a quality start, but managed to escape with his first win of the season against the St. Louis Cardinals. He went five innings giving up 10 hits and two earned runs while he struck out six and walked two.
So far in two starts, DeSclafani owns a solid strikeout (9.90 K/9) to walk (2.70 BB/9) rate while he has done a good job keeping the ball in the park (0.90 HR/9). He does have a 5.40 ERA, but has a solid 3.09 FIP.

Free Cincinnati Reds vs. Pittsburgh Pirates MLB Prediction: Pittsburgh takes down Cincinnati at home
4* Free MLB Betting Pick: Pirates -135
DeSclafani giving up 10 hits is worrisome, and Cincinnati hasn’t been hitting the ball all that great lately. Musgrove has been consistent in his first four starts of the season and I expect him to continue that at home. Roll with the home team.
