Reds at Rangers picks and predictions

Prediction

Reds 5, Reds 3

Moneyline.

BET REDS (+105).

The defending World Champion Rangers have not been the same team at home this season. They finished 50-31 at Globe Life in 2023, but this year they are 7-8. Texas is 3-6 in day games on the season.

Cincinnati is throwing out lefty Abbott which has been a bugaboo for Texas, sporting a 2-4 record and batting .222 against southpaws. They Reds are also 7-4 in day games on the season.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

I’m going to keep my wager to the moneyline in this one.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 8.5 (+100).

The Rangers loss on Saturday was the 1st time they had gone Over this total in their last 5 games. The Reds are 2-4-1 against the Over in their last 7 games. It was also the 1st time these 2 teams went Over in their last 3 meetings.
