The red hot Philadelphia Phillies will be aiming to make it six wins on the spin when they host the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday night in the second matchup of their three game series.
The Phillies edged game one of the series 5-4 thanks to a two run homer in the eighth innings by Bryson Stot, and a solid display from young pitcher Andrew Painter. That result moved the Phillies to 25-23 for the season, and whilst that leaves them seven games back from the Braves in the NL East, their recent form suggests that they could be a force to be reckoned with in the back half of the campaign.
In contrast to Philly, the Reds have been in free fall in recent weeks. After a bright start to the campaign, they have now won just four of their last 18 fixtures and have dropped below .500 for the first time this season.

Our Philadelphia Phillies vs Cincinnati Reds Prediction
These are two teams moving in opposite directions, so despite the Reds' showing signs of improvement in game one of the series, we are tipping the Phillies to make it seven wins in a row.
Philadelphia hope to have MLB home run leader Kyle Schwarber back in their lineup after he missed game one due to illness. When you also factor in the impressive form of hitter Bryson Stott, plus a stacked bullpen, we think this could be a comfortable night for the home side.
Our prediction for Philadelphia Phillies vs Cincinnati Reds is: Phillies (-1.5) to win.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
