Reds vs Mets Prediction
I’m on the over here. I think Sproat may have some issues in his debut, as he was still dealing with control and contact issues even at AAA, and Hunter Greene has been far more hittable at Great American Ballpark this season. Two lineups that can hit righties well, I think we’re getting some runs here. Give me the over.
