The New York Mets, with a 32-40 record, are set to take on the Cincinnati Reds, who are 34-37 for the season. The Mets have struggled on the road, with a 14-22 record, while the Reds have an 18-18 record at home.

Starting Pitchers

Kodai Senga will start for the Mets, while Brady Singer will take the mound for the Reds. Senga has some ugly numbers, but most of those are inflated due to his limited playing time. In his first two starts, he went 11.2 innings and allowed four earned runs total. Reds hitters are just 3-for-20 against Senga.

Singer, on the other hand, has been out of tune this season with a 2-6 record, a 5.61 ERA, and a 1.64 WHIP. He has been slightly better at home than on the road, but his biggest issue is that he has allowed 17 homers this year, with nine of them coming at home.

Game Outlook

The Reds got the best of the Mets yesterday, putting up 12 unanswered runs and shutting out New York. Cincinnati took the first game of the series and now has a chance to win the series overall, but it won’t be easy against Senga. Given the potential for high scoring, the over 9.5 runs looks like a promising bet.
