Cincinnati Reds vs. Cleveland Guardians MLB Pick Prediction by Tony T. Reds at Guardians 1PM ET— Nick Lodolo starts for Cincinnati. Lodolo got 13 starts with an ERA of 3.21 with WHIP of 1.08. The left hander fans 20.6% with 4.5% walks. Ground ball rate of 41.6% with 1.07 home runs per nine innings. Logan Allen is starting for Cleveland.
The Cincinnati Reds, now 33-33, roared back to .500 with a commanding three-game sweep over the Arizona Diamondbacks at Great American Ball Park, showcasing offensive firepower and resilient pitching. The series, concluding on June 8, 2025, saw the Reds overcome early deficits and weather challenges, including rain delays, to secure a 4-2 victory in the finale. Christian Encarnacion-Strand, fresh off the injured list, was a standout, going 7-for-13 with six RBIs, including a solo homer in the fifth inning of the final game. Jose Trevino tied the game with another solo shot, and Matt McLain delivered the decisive blow—a two-run homer in the seventh off Arizona's Zac Gallen, who allowed four runs over 6 2/3 innings. Brady Singer kept the Reds competitive, pitching five innings and allowing two runs despite taking a comebacker to his arm. Taylor Rogers earned the win with two scoreless relief innings, and Tony Santillan sealed the sweep with his second save. The Reds' earlier wins included a 4-3, 10-inning thriller and a 13-1 rout, highlighting their offensive depth and bullpen strength. . Now, the Reds head to Progressive Field for a three-game series against the Cleveland Guardians (34-30), starting today, June 9, 2025. This matchup follows Cincinnati's sweep of Cleveland in May, adding intensity to the battle for the Ohio Cup. The Reds aim to maintain momentum against a Guardians team chasing the AL Central-leading Detroit Tigers. Cincinnati's probable starters are Wade Miley (0-0, 18.00 ERA), Andrew Abbott (5-1, 2.18 ERA), and Nick Lodolo (4-4, 3.21 ERA), facing Cleveland's Luis Ortiz (3-6, 4.02 ERA), Slade Cecconi (1-2, 4.87 ERA), and Logan Allen (3-4, 4.42 ERA). Miley's return from injury makes his start a question mark, but Abbott's consistency and Lodolo's solid outings provide stability. Cleveland's José Ramírez, with 12 homers, remains a threat, though their recent 5-3 loss to Houston exposed vulnerabilities. The Reds, buoyed by their sweep, must navigate Cleveland's strong 17-13 home record. One win secures the Ohio Cup, but Cincinnati's focus is on climbing the NL Central standings. Expect a competitive series with the Reds' bats aiming to exploit Cleveland's pitching.
Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner talk MLB betting for Friday. Best bets as always. Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner preview the MLB Friday slate on RJ Bell's Dream Preview. They open by discussing the Orioles' recent 9-2 stretch despite being 11 games under .500, and Minnesota's past long winning streak. Griffin reflects on Moneyball's low ranking on his movie list and praises Pete Crow-Armstrong of the Cubs. In the Phillies vs. Pirates matchup, Joe Ross starts for Philly as an opener while Bailey Falter, performing solidly for Pittsburgh, starts for the Pirates. Both agree under 9 runs is the best angle due to limited offensive firepower from Pittsburgh and Ross's limited innings. Next, Texas faces Washington with Patrick Corbin vs. Michael Soroka. Corbin has stabilized while Soroka battles recurring injuries. Griffin likes Nationals ML and over 9.5, noting Nationals' young talent and the weather boosting offense. Munaf supports first 5 over and Nationals' team total over, citing Texas' poor 9-20 road record. In Red Sox vs. Yankees, Walker Buehler faces Will Warren. Boston's bats have struggled, while Warren allowed 7 ER in his last outing. Both predict an over 9 outcome, expecting Rafael Devers to homer and citing both teams' bullpen issues. The Diamondbacks visit Cincinnati with Eduardo Rodriguez vs. Nick Lodolo. Rodriguez has allowed 13 ER over his last 3 starts with control issues. Lodolo's 4-4 record and 3.10 ERA give Griffin confidence in the Reds. Munaf favors Reds ML and sees plenty of scoring. Astros travel to Cleveland with Colton Gordon vs. Logan Allen. Allen's lefty matchup gives the right-handed Astros lineup an edge, but Munaf remains cautious due to Houston's late travel. Griffin would take Astros at plus money, considering Cleveland's competitiveness. Kansas City faces the White Sox with Seth Lugo vs. Davis Martin. Lugo has dominated the White Sox historically, allowing just 3 ER over 29.1 IP. Munaf strongly supports Royals RL, citing Lugo's recent success against Chicago, while Griffin leans over 8. The Padres visit Milwaukee with Randy Vasquez vs. Chad Patrick. Vasquez's control issues and HR susceptibility concern both hosts. Griffin makes Brewers ML -142 his best bet, citing Milwaukee's base-stealing prowess and San Diego's fatigue after extra-inning games. Munaf adds Brewers first 5 team total over. Dodgers face Cardinals with Justin Robleski vs. Sonny Gray. Injuries to Betts and Freeman concern both. Griffin trusts Gray as a home underdog, noting St. Louis' bullpen depth. Munaf supports Over 8.5, expecting offensive production from both sides. The Mets visit Colorado with Kodai Senga vs. Antonio Senzatela. Senzatela enters 1-10 with a 7.14 ERA and 1.98 WHIP. Munaf makes Mets team total Over 6.5 his best bet, expecting New York's offense to dominate at Coors Field. Griffin acknowledges Rockies' rare 3-game win streak but avoids backing them. Seattle travels to Anaheim with Bryce Miller facing Kyle Hendricks. Miller's bone spur has altered his delivery, making Griffin favor the Angels ML, citing their hot bats and rest advantage. Munaf agrees, backing the Angels and runs scored. In San Francisco, Braves' Spencer Schwellenbach faces Giants' Hayden Birdsong. Schwellenbach has 22 Ks in his last two starts, but Griffin trusts Birdsong and Giants' bullpen, backing the under 7.5 and Giants ML. Munaf echoes this, emphasizing both pitchers' strong form. They close with Griffin taking Brewers ML as his best bet and Munaf locking in Mets team total Over 6.5. They promote pregame.com with a STRIKE20 discount code for picks packages.

Last night, the Indiana Pacers stunned the basketball world with a thrilling 111-110 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 1 of the 2025 NBA Finals. Tyrese Haliburton's game-winning shot capped a dramatic 15-point fourth-quarter comeback, marking Indiana's fifth such rally this postseason. Pascal Siakam led with 19 points and 10 rebounds, while Obi Toppin's 17 points off the bench sparked the upset. The Pacers' relentless pace and clutch play set the tone for a competitive series, proving their underdog status is no fluke. Switching to baseball, the Cincinnati Reds face a critical weekend series against the Chicago Cubs at Great American Ball Park. The Reds, hovering around .500, are fighting to stay in the NL Central race. After a rollercoaster May, where they split series against strong teams like the Dodgers and Braves, Cincinnati needs consistency. Their offense, led by Elly De La Cruz's speed and Jonathan India's on-base skills, has shown flashes of brilliance but struggles with runners in scoring position, batting just .240 in those spots this season. The Cubs, sitting third in the division, are a tough matchup. Their pitching staff, anchored by Shota Imanaga (2.95 ERA), has been stingy, allowing the third-fewest runs in the NL. Chicago's lineup, powered by Cody Bellinger and Seiya Suzuki, thrives on exploiting mistakes, making Cincinnati's pitching staff—prone to wildness—vulnerable. Reds starter Hunter Greene (3.45 ERA) takes the mound Friday, aiming to set the tone with his high-90s fastball. However, his command issues (4.1 BB/9) could be costly against the disciplined Cubs. Saturday's matchup features Nick Lodolo, whose breakout 2025 (3.12 ERA, 9.5 K/9) has been a bright spot for Cincinnati. He'll face Chicago's Justin Steele, a lefty who's limited opponents to a .220 average. The Reds must capitalize early, as the Cubs' bullpen ranks among the league's best. Sunday's finale pits Andrew Abbott against Kyle Hendricks, where Cincinnati's ability to work counts could decide the game. The Reds need at least two wins to gain ground in the division. De La Cruz's base-stealing (35 SB) and Spencer Steer's power (15 HR) will be key. Defensively, Cincinnati must tighten up after recent errors cost them games. Expect a high-energy series with playoff implications, as both teams vie for postseason

Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Cincinnati Reds MLB Pick Prediction by Tony T. Diamondbacks at Reds 7PM ET—Eduardo Rodriguez gets the start for Cincinnati. Rodriguez in nine starts has an ERA of 7.05 with WHIP of 1.70. The lefty fans 24.6% with 8.5% walks. Grounders are 31.4% with 1.61 home runs per nine innings. A FIP of 4.27. Nick Lodolo will start for Cincinnati.
Cory T. Phillips, Mike Hart, and Ricky Logan break down the Cincinnati Reds' 2-0 loss to the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field on May 31, 2025. Reds starter Nick Lodolo delivered six stellar shutout innings, but the Reds' offense struggled mightily, managing just one hit against four Cubs pitchers in challenging, windy conditions. The Cubs' pitching staff dominated, allowing only two baserunners while racking up eleven strikeouts. Chicago broke the scoreless tie with two runs in the bottom of the eighth, securing the victory and the second game of the series. The Reds now aim to bounce back in the series finale, hoping to win the rubber game and return to a .500 record.

Cincinnati Reds vs. Chicago Cubs MLB Pick Prediction by Tony T. Reds at Cubs 2:20PM ET—Nick Lodolo will start for Cincinnati. Lodolo has eleven starts on the season dealing with an ERA of 3.39 with WHIP of 1.10. The left hander strikes out 20.5% with 4.5% walks. Ground balls served at 42.6% with 0.99 home runs per nine innings. Ben Brown will be primary pitchers for Chicago. Brown appeared in eleven games with an ERA of 6.39 with WHIP of 1.60. The right hander fans 26.5% with 7.75 walks. Ground balls dealt at 44.7% with 1.07 home runs per nine innings.
Chicago Cubs vs. Cincinnati Reds MLB Pick Prediction by Tony T. Cubs at Reds 1:40M ET—Ben Brown will start for Chicago. Brown appeared in ten games in 2025, carrying an ERA of 5.44 with WHIP of 1.55. The right hander fans 27.4% with 7.5% walks. Ground balls sit at 43.3% with 1.17 home runs per nine innings. Nick Lodolo gets the start for Cincinnati.

The Cincinnati Reds are set to face the National League Central-leading Chicago Cubs in a pivotal three-game series at Great American Ball Park, starting Friday, May 23, 2025. This series marks the return of Reds ace Hunter Greene from the 15-day injured list, a development that has fans and analysts buzzing with anticipation. Greene's comeback is a critical boost for Cincinnati as they aim to close the gap with the division-leading Cubs. Greene, a first-time All-Star in 2024, has been sidelined since May 7 due to a Grade 1 right groin strain sustained during a start against Atlanta. Before the injury, the 25-year-old right-hander was dominant, posting a 4-2 record with a 2.36 ERA over 45.2 innings, striking out 61 batters while issuing just eight walks, and maintaining a stellar 0.81 WHIP. His return on Friday, confirmed by manager Terry Francona, follows a successful 35-pitch simulated game on May 18, where Greene reported no discomfort and easy velocity. Francona's confidence in Greene's readiness underscores the pitcher's meticulous preparation, including a bullpen session in Pittsburgh this week. Facing the Cubs, Greene brings a strong track record. He is 4-1 with a 4.06 ERA in seven career starts against Chicago, including a standout performance on May 26, 2023, when he tossed six no-hit innings with 11 strikeouts in a 9-0 victory at Wrigley Field. However, Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki poses a challenge, hitting .462 with two homers in 13 at-bats against Greene. Chicago will counter with left-hander Matthew Boyd (4-2, 2.98 ERA), who has struggled in Cincinnati, going 0-3 with a 9.69 ERA in four career starts. The Reds' rotation for the series is formidable, with Andrew Abbott (3-0, 1.80 ERA) and Nick Lodolo (4-4, 3.22 ERA) slated for Saturday and Sunday. Cincinnati, sitting at .500, sees this series as a chance to gain ground in the NL Central, especially with two of their next four series against the Cubs. Greene's return injects energy and leadership into a young Reds squad, and his performance could set the tone for a crucial stretch. With the Cubs riding high, this matchup promises high-stakes baseball, with Greene's electric arm at the forefront.
The Cincinnati Reds' recent series loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates in May 2025 at PNC Park highlighted both their persistent offensive struggles and the resilience of their pitching staff, casting a shadow over their postseason aspirations. Entering the three-game set with a four-game winning streak and a .500 record, the Reds hoped to capitalize on the Pirates' last-place standing in the NL Central. However, despite stellar pitching, the Reds dropped two of three games, falling to 25-26 and exposing critical weaknesses that could define their season. In the series opener on May 19, the Reds secured a convincing 7-1 victory, driven by a late offensive surge with five runs in the final two innings. Austin Hays' three-hit performance and Nick Lodolo's six strong innings set an optimistic tone. However, the momentum fizzled in the next two games. On May 20, Pittsburgh's Bailey Falter outdueled Nick Martinez, who allowed just one run over six innings, but the Reds' offense was silenced in a 1-0 shutout. Bryan Reynolds' RBI single in the sixth proved decisive, as Cincinnati managed only four hits. The series finale on May 21 saw another pitching gem wasted, with Brady Singer allowing two runs over five innings, but the Reds' bats mustered just one run in a 3-1 loss to Andrew Heaney and the Pirates' bullpen. The Reds' offense was abysmal, scoring one run across the final 18 innings, with nine hits and a 1-for-10 mark with runners in scoring position. Manager Terry Francona, in his first year with Cincinnati, called it “just baseball,” but fans on X expressed frustration, labeling the team “mentally weak” for collapsing against a weaker opponent. Despite limiting Pittsburgh to five runs over the series, the Reds' inability to produce timely hits underscored a season-long issue, with injuries to Jake Fraley and others not helping. On a positive note, the Reds' starting pitchers posted a 1.70 ERA over their last seven games, and Hunter Greene's imminent return from a groin injury offers hope. However, with a crucial stretch of division games ahead, including six against the first-place Chicago Cubs, the Reds must address their offensive woes to stay in the wild-card race. This series loss, while not catastrophic, serves as a stark reminder of the fine margins in a competitive season.

The Cincinnati Reds are riding high on a five-game win streak in the 2025 season, showcasing a blend of young talent, veteran leadership, and pitching prowess that has fans buzzing. This streak, capped by a 3-1 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on April 28, has improved their record to 16-13, securing a winning April and positioning them as contenders in the NL Central. Here's a deep dive into what's fueling this red-hot run. The streak began with a dominant sweep against the Pittsburgh Pirates, highlighted by Hunter Greene's masterful seven scoreless innings on April 13, allowing just two hits while striking out eight. The Reds' offense complemented their pitching, with timely hits from Elly De La Cruz and Santiago Espinal. This momentum carried into a road series against the Colorado Rockies, where Nick Lodolo shone in an 8-1 rout on April 27, backed by 14 hits from players like Noelvi Marte, Spencer Steer, and Gavin Lux, who extended his hitting streak to 11 games. The offense has been clicking, going 4-for-10 with runners in scoring position in the Rockies sweep, a stark contrast to earlier struggles. Back home, the Reds faced the Cardinals, with Nick Martinez delivering a quality start and Jose Trevino blasting a crucial home run. De La Cruz, now boasting a 12-game hit streak, and Marte's three times on base kept the pressure on. The bullpen, including standouts like Emilio Pagán and Graham Ashcraft, has been nails, preserving leads and shutting down opponents. Defensively, despite De La Cruz's sixth error of the season, the team has made clutch plays, with Marte stealing two bases in the Rockies series to spark rallies. Under manager Terry Francona, the Reds have shown resilience after a 2-6 start, going 12-8 in their last 20 games. The addition of veterans like Trevino and Austin Hays has bolstered a young core featuring De La Cruz and Marte, creating a balanced lineup. Social media is abuzz, with fans on X proclaiming, “Reds are now 3 games over .500!” This streak signals a turnaround, with the Reds 11-3 when scoring five or more runs. As they host the Cardinals next, the Reds aim to keep the fire burning and chase a playoff spot.

On a chilly Tuesday night at Great American Ball Park, the Cincinnati Reds secured an 8-4 victory over the Seattle Mariners in the series opener, marking their fourth straight win and pushing their record to 9-8, above .500 for the first time since May 2024. The game was a showcase for Austin Hays, who made a thunderous debut with the Reds after missing the season's first 16 games due to a left calf strain. Signed to a one-year, $5 million contract in January, the 2023 All-Star outfielder proved his worth, going 2-for-4 with four RBIs, including a pivotal three-run homer, and etched his name in Reds history as only the third player since 1920 to drive in at least four runs in his team debut. The Reds trailed early, with Mariners' Dylan Moore hitting a leadoff homer and adding a two-run shot off starter Nick Lodolo, who struggled, allowing four runs over 4 2/3 innings. Seattle's Luis Castillo, a former Reds ace, held a 4-2 lead into the fifth, but Cincinnati's offense, bolstered by Hays and Gavin Lux, flipped the script. Lux, who had four hits, drove in two runs, including an RBI single in the fifth that set the stage for Hays. With two on, Hays crushed a 1-1 fastball from Castillo to center field for a go-ahead three-run homer, giving the Reds a 6-4 lead they wouldn't relinquish. The crowd of 17,205 roared as Hays rounded the bases, signaling his arrival as a key piece in Cincinnati's lineup. The Reds' bullpen sealed the win, with Scott Barlow earning the victory, and Graham Ashcraft, Tony Santillan, and Emilio Pagán combining for scoreless relief. Pagán closed the ninth with ease, retiring the Mariners in order. Despite Moore's two homers and four RBIs for Seattle, their four-game win streak ended as Castillo faltered, allowing six runs in 4 1/3 innings. Hays' debut underscored the Reds' offensive potential, especially with Matt McLain and Alexis Diaz also returning from the injured list. As Cincinnati eyes a strong homestand, Hays' historic night suggests he could be the spark to sustain their momentum. The teams face off again Wednesday, with Nick Martinez starting for the Reds against Bryce Miller.

The Cincinnati Reds have been on fire lately, showcasing their potential with a thrilling series win against the San Francisco Giants in April 2025. This recent success has fans buzzing and highlights the team's growing strength under new manager Terry Francona. The Reds' pitching staff, led by standout performances from Hunter Greene and Nick Lodolo, has been the backbone of their resurgence. Greene delivered a near-complete game shutout, striking out seven and allowing just four hits, while Lodolo followed with six scoreless innings, stifling the Giants' offense. These dominant outings snapped San Francisco's seven-game winning streak and secured Cincinnati's first series victory of the season. Offensively, the Reds have shown flashes of brilliance, with key contributions from players like Blake Dunn, whose two-run double broke a scoreless tie, and Elly De La Cruz, whose speed and bat continue to electrify. Despite some inconsistency at the plate, the team's ability to capitalize on critical moments has been a game-changer. The Reds' young core, blending athleticism and power, is starting to gel, and their aggressive base running has kept opponents on edge. Defensively, Cincinnati has tightened up, with slick plays from Matt McLain and De La Cruz turning heads. This series win at Oracle Park wasn't just a statement—it was a glimpse of what this Reds squad can achieve when clicking on all cylinders. While the Giants took two of three in their earlier meeting at Great American Ball Park, Cincinnati flipped the script on the road, proving they can hang with top competition. With Francona's leadership and a talented roster coming into its own, the Reds are building momentum. If they maintain this pitching dominance and find more offensive consistency, they could be a force in the NL Central all season long.

As of March 25, 2025, the Cincinnati Reds have wrapped up their spring training in Goodyear, Arizona, finishing with a 12-17-1 record in the Cactus League. Despite the losing tally, the focus was on preparation rather than results, culminating in a strong 13-2 victory over the Cleveland Guardians in their final game. Key performances highlighted the camp: shortstop Elly De La Cruz thrived, slashing .452/.553/.839 with six extra-base hits and six stolen bases, showcasing his superstar potential. Outfielder Austin Hays led the team with 14 RBIs and a .310 average, proving his value as a cleanup hitter. Pitching-wise, Hunter Greene, set to start Opening Day on March 27 against the San Francisco Giants, struck out six in four innings during his penultimate tune-up. Nick Lodolo also impressed in the finale, signaling rotation strength. However, injuries impacted the roster—Andrew Abbott, Spencer Steer, and Tyler Stephenson will start the season on the IL, opening spots for prospects like Jacob Hurtubise and Blake Dunn. Under new manager Terry Francona, the Reds emphasized farm system development and organizational unity, aiming to end their playoff drought since 2020 as they head back to Cincinnati. In March 2025, the Cincinnati Bengals secured their star wide receivers, Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, with lucrative long-term contracts, ensuring quarterback Joe Burrow's top targets remain in place. Chase signed a four-year, $161 million extension, making him the NFL's highest-paid non-quarterback at $40.25 million annually, with $73.9 million fully guaranteed at signing and $112 million total guaranteed. His deal includes a $41.17 million base salary and roster bonuses for 2025, with cash flow structured to deliver $105 million over three years, heavily front-loaded for flexibility. Higgins, previously on a franchise tag, inked a four-year, $115 million contract, averaging $28.75 million per year, the highest for a No. 2 receiver. His deal features $30 million fully guaranteed at signing, including a $20 million roster bonus in 2025, though his $13.8 million 2025 base salary remains unguaranteed, offering the Bengals an out after one year if needed. The Bengals deviated from their traditional signing bonus-heavy structure, opting for significant guarantees to appease Burrow's public push to retain both players. While this locks in their offensive core through 2029 (Chase) and 2028 (Higgins), critics note the team could have saved millions by acting earlier, as delays inflated costs amid a rising receiver market.
Nick Kirby recaps the Cincinnati Reds FINAL spring training game in Arizona. Nick talks about standout performances from Nick Lodolo, Ian Gibaut, Elly De La Cruz, Gavin Lux and more. Nick also breaks down the news that Alexis Diaz will start the season on the IL.
