Reds vs Athletics Prediction
The Athletics are 4-1 in their last 5 head-to-head meetings against the Reds, but the Reds are 3-2 in their last 5 road meetings against the A’s. Over is 3-2 in their last 5 meetings.
In this Reds vs Athletics Prediction, the Reds are coming as -115 road favorites. I don’t trust Severino at all for the A’s, as he has been bad at home, with a 6.34 home ERA. On the flip side, Greene has been elite for the Reds, but is slightly weaker on the road, with a 3.89 road ERA. Greene is coming off back-to-back quality starts with just two earned runs in total, while Severino has 3 earned runs in two of his last three starts. the Reds have a better bullpen, and are better than the A’s against right-handed pitching, so I like them in a bounce-back spot on the road today as small favorites. Take the Cincinnati Reds on the moneyline in this one.
