The Arizona Cardinals will try to gain some ground in the wild card hunt this weekend when they host the Cincinnati Reds in a best-of-three series at Chase Field in Phoenix, AZ. Game time tonight is scheduled for 9:40 p.m. EST on MLB.YV.
Arizona is coming off a 7-6 win in extra innings against the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday but had lost its previous three games. Cincinnati is probably glad to get back on the road after going 3-5 at home during a recent homestand.
Eduardo Rodriguez is slated to start the game on the mound for the Diamondbacks. Rodriguez is having a solid year. He’s gone 12-4 in 25 starts with a 2.71 ERA, a 1.21 WHIP, and teams are hitting .238 against him. When at home, he has posted a 6-3 record in 13 starts with a 2.85 ERA and .228 OBA.
As for the Reds, Cincinnati is scheduled to go with Nick Lodolo on the mound to start the day. Lodolo is 3-2 in 14 starts with a 4.52 ERA, 1.42 WHIP, and teams are hitting .271 against him. On the road, he is 1-0 in five starts with a 4.21 ERA and a .266 OBA.

Our Arizona Diamondbacks vs Cincinnati Reds Prediction
Cincinnati has been struggling at the plate over the last week, hitting just .202 over the last week with 26 runs scored across seven games. Arizona hasn’t been doing to much better (.237 with 25 runs scored over their last five games. I do not see the Reds coming alive against a solid pitcher in Rodriguez. Lodolo is not bad, but I do not see him containing the Arizona lineup enough to keep the game close.
Our Cincinnati vs. Arizona Pick: D-backs -1.5
