Reds vs Royals Prediction, Betting Analysis
By: Brit Devine
I’m also taking the Reds on the moneyline, but I’m doubling down on a good performance by Hunter Greene on Wednesday.
Greene’s fly-ball pitching style should really be helped out in Kansas City, which is one of the tougher ballparks in the league to hit one out of.
The Royals’ offense will also help, as Kansas City has a league-low 33 home runs this season, with just 10 of those coming at home.
Greene has allowed eight homers this season but just 14 earned runs total.
Without the threat of the home run, Greene should cruise and put the Reds in a great position to win.
In fact, Greene has only allowed an astonishing two earned runs this season that didn’t come via the home run.
I’m betting two units and counting on Greene to not give up a home run on Wednesday.
Pick: Hunter Greene Under 1.5 Earned Runs Allowed (+128)
Moneyline
Reds moneyline is the pick.
Run Line (Spread)
There’s no play on the run line.
Over/Under
There’s no play for the regular total, but Hunter Greene under his earned runs allowed mark (1.5) is the pick.
