Phillies vs Reds Prediction
Runs are going to be hard to come by in this game. Suarez has been lights out this season, and he sits with an ERA of 1.73. Hunter Greene in his last start wasn’t dominant, but he was decent, and he gave up only one run. The Phillies and Reds are both going to struggle against the starting pitching and that is going to be the difference here as this game is going to be lower scoring. Back the under to cash.
