The Astros are currently in the prime of their season, having swept the Royals in the previous 4-game series, 13 games over .500, and have the best record in the MLB since April 27. They will now visit the Reds, who have a 33-39 home record.

Alvarez continues to lead the Astros with 29 doubles, 2 triples and 30 HRs. Regarding the Astros' recent good performance, Alavarez said, "I said there was going to be a moment we would all click, and that's what's happening right now." Dubon's bat has been on fire recently, as he is 10-for-31 in the last 10 games.

For the Reds, it is Stephenson who has mainly been in charge of the offensive duties, as he hit 2 HRs and is 14-for-36 with 3 doubles and 2 HRs in the last 10 games. The Reds have lost 5 of their last 7 games at Great American Ball Park.

Even though they have fared well in recent years against the Astros, they will have a tough time this time around, as the Astros' pitching is currently at an elite level where opponents are hitting just 185 AVG against them, leading MLB in this category and in ERA since August.

Our Houston Astros vs Cincinnati Reds Prediction

Verlander has taken the loss in each of his last two starts, posting a 5.40 ERA over that span. For the 41-year-old veteran, this will be his 13th start of the season. Aguiar will pitch for the Reds with a 1-0 record and a 6.43 ERA, making his fourth start of the season. In the previous three, Aguiar allowed three HRs in the last one against the Athletics, where he did not go more than four innings pitched and allowed 10 hits. This first game of the series could be a high-scoring one. Our prediction for Astros vs Reds is: Over 8.5, -176 at DraftKings.
