The Cincinnati Reds are set to take on the Arizona Diamondbacks in their upcoming game. The Reds will be starting Andrew Abbott, who has had a decent season with a 4.10 ERA and a 1.41 WHIP. Abbott has been worse at home, with a 5.15 ERA, but has looked great in his last three starts, with three straight quality starts and allowing three or fewer earned runs in eight straight outings.
Diamondbacks’ Struggles
The Diamondbacks, on the other hand, will be starting Zac Gallen, who has struggled this season with a 5.43 ERA and a 1.55 WHIP. Gallen has been particularly bad on the road, with an ERA north of seven, and has allowed at least four earned runs in six of his last eight outings. The Reds’ hitters have had limited success against Gallen, with a 6-for-45 record against him.
The Reds are looking to grab the series win, and with Abbott on the mound, they have a good chance. The Diamondbacks have a better offense, but the Reds have the better pitcher, which could give them the edge they need. The books have the game as a toss-up, but with Gallen’s struggles, the Reds may have the upper hand.
