We’re backing the home team in this matchup tonight. Cincinnati showed they’re all in by making several key trades at the deadline.
Left-hander Andrew Abbott will take the mound for the Reds.
Abbott has been outstanding this season, posting an 8-1 record with a 2.09 ERA.
I expect another strong outing from him tonight.

I love this matchup for the Reds’ shortstop.
Elly De La Cruz has tallied nine hits over his last seven games.
Look for him to stay hot and continue producing at the plate tonight.
