Tigers vs Reds Prediction
The Reds have won their last three meetings against the Tigers but are 1-3 in their last 4 meetings in Cincinnati. Their last four meetings have all gone over the total.
In this Tigers vs Reds Prediction, both teams are coming at a pickem price. The Reds have been red-hot lately with an 8-2 record in their last 10 games and have the best bullpen in baseball, but I don’t trust Brady Singer on the mound and his 5.32 ERA. Flaherty has been better on the road and has been dealing lately, with just two earned runs in his last three starts. On top of that, the Tigers have a better offense and hit better righties and I like them in a bounce-back spot today. Take the Tigers on the moneyline.
