In Cincinnati, the Pittsburgh Pirates have dropped 16 of their past 19. So, on Wednesday, they’ll aim to sweep the entire four-game Pirates vs Reds series.
On Monday, the Pirates defeated the Nationals by 6-3. Then, in the second game of Tuesday’s doubleheader, the bullpen stepped up and saved the day. As a result, gambling industry news sources are banking on Pittsburgh to win the series 3-0.
Pirates vs Reds Betting Pick Details
For the Pirates’ last game, Roansy Contreras will start. Sports betting software solution experts project a 3.29 ERA for the right-hander. He’s started 15 games for the team already this season. Not to mention, this is his second win over the Reds.
On July 7, Contreras faced the Reds for the first time this season. In the first game of a doubleheader, he limited Cincinnati to one run on four hits throughout six and a half innings. The Pirates won 4-2 thanks partly to his performance, which included seven strikeouts and one walk.
Throughout five innings of work, Contreras limited St. Louis to just one run on four hits. This victory gave him his sixth of the year.
However, Cincinnati has decided to select Nick Lodolo. The left-handed rookie starter has been the most reliable pitcher. In addition, rookies Graham Ashcraft and Hunter Greene have been sidelined since August, leaving the club with no other options.
After being struck by a fastball by Pirates pitcher Mann Banuelos, outfielder Jake Fraley was cleared by concussion procedures. So it looks like he’ll be able to play in the match.
