The Houston Astros and the Cincinnati Reds will duke it out one more time on Sunday at Dalkin Park with the winner coming away with the series victory.
The Astros are 2-3 in their last five games, batting .270 with 5.1 runs and pitching a 4.81 ERA. Houston, third in the AL West with a 19-19 slate, recorded 9 runs in Saturday’s Game 2 loss to the Reds. However, they also let the visiting team score 13 runs after shutting them down in Game 1.
The Reds’ offense came alive on Saturday to record only their second win in five games. Cincinnati holds the 8th best ERA in baseball at 3.71; however, it was their batting corps that made more impact in Game 2. Cincinnati is generating 5.2 runs per game on a .254 batting average on the road this season.

Our Cincinnati Reds vs Houston Astros Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Reds outgun Astros in a high-scoring series finale.
The Reds will designate Chase Petty (34.71 ERA) as their starter for Sunday’s ballgame vs. the Astros. Petty had a nightmarish MLB debut, allowing 9 earned runs over 2.1 innings in a 1-9 loss to St. Louis. Cincinnati is hoping they will get a much better outing from Petty this time around as he duels against Astros’ starter Ronel Blanco, who gave up 3 runs in each of his last two games. While I know that it would take some courage to bet on the Reds to win this match with an inexperienced starter, Cincinnati has the numbers game on their side as they are 9-1 in their last 10 meetings with the Astros. Moreover, the Reds won 5 of these 9 games by at least two points. Our betting prediction for the Cincinnati Reds vs. the Houston Astros: Cincinnati Reds will win.
