Cincinnati Reds vs. San Diego Padres Prediction

I’m on the under in this game. I don’t trust either side offensively right now as the Reds are clearly missing Elly De La Cruz and I think the Padres could also have some issues dealing with Chase Burns and his velocity on the mound. I think this is going to be a lower-scoring matchup here so give me the under.
