Detroit was a pretty profitable side to back on Saturday as their 6-4 game two win paid out in the +247 range. As much as we think these teams are evenly paired in the rubber match, the Reds are huge -235 favorites.
Cincinnati did take the opener of this series 7-1 after some 3-hit mastery by Sonny Gray. It was the bullpen that did the Reds in on Saturday though allowing 5 ER after Luis Castillo exited in the 6th.
Detroit Tigers
The Tigers offense was basically non-existent in the season opener but against a solid pitcher in Gray. The big key for Detroit on Saturday was finding their pop as Miguel Cabrera, Austin Romine, and JaCoby Jones all went yard.
There’s some Detroit batters who have had success against Cincinnati’s starter Trevor Bauer. Cabrera is hitting .324 vs. Bauer, Niko Goodrum .375, and Cameron Maybin .600. Maybe the ‘over’ 9 looks good again?
It’s Spencer Turnbull on the hill for Detroit needing a huge bounce back after a 3-17 season a year ago with a 4.61 ERA. Only two Reds batters have ever faced Turnbull though in this interleague matchup.
Cincinnati Reds
Cincinnati has to feel like they let one get away on Saturday after taking a 3-1 into the top of the 7th before a bullpen implosion.
On the bright side the Reds offense looked good on Friday powered by season opening HR’s from Joey Votto and Mike Moustakas. Cincy added three more HRs Saturday but had just 6 hits total.
It all comes down to how much you trust Bauer when even thinking about laying -235 on the Reds Sunday. He was just 2-5 since coming to the NL last August while posting a 6.39 ERA.

Free Detroit Tigers vs. Cincinnati Reds MLB Prediction:
The Reds could win this one 8-0 but there’s still no way anybody should put down that price on a team coming off a loss on Saturday. Pitchers have an edge early this season but not as we start getting into 3rd and 4th in the rotation.
4* Free MLB Betting Pick: Over 9
On a good day the Reds can hit this number themselves, especially the way they’re hitting long balls.
