Cincinnati Reds vs. Arizona Diamondbacks Prediction

I’m leaning Cincinnati’s way here. I think the Reds back up Abbott here and while the Diamondbacks have been playing better baseball, they’ve been less effective against lefties and the Reds really put belt to butt on Saturday against Arizona. I’m looking for the Reds to take care of business here so give me Cincinnati in this one.
