The Cincinnati Reds (74-80) will take on the Pittsburgh Pirates (72-81) tonight and are hoping to avoid a 3-game losing streak. After taking game one of their 3-game set against Atlanta, they dropped the next two. In those 2 losses, they were outscored 22-4. For the Pirates, they are coming off a win over St. Louis which snapped their 3-game losing streak. Luis Ortiz pitched 6 innings for the Pirates in their win and allowed just 2 runs on 5 hits. Nick Gonzalez went 2-4 with a triple and a stolen base for the Pirates in the win. Tonight, Pittsburgh will have Mitch Keller (11-10, 3.87) on the mound as he looks to bounce back after taking his 10th loss of the season in his last start. He went 6 innings and allowed 4 runs on 4 hits against the Royals. He will be countered by Nick Martinez (9-6, 3.37) of the Reds. Martinez is coming off a solid 6 inning start in his last game. He picked up his 9th win of the season by holding the Twins to 1 run on 3 hits while striking out 6. That start was preceded by 7 shutout innings against the Braves. If he has the same stuff, it will be difficult for the Pirates to win this one.

Our Cincinnati Reds vs Pittsburgh Pirates Prediction
The Reds are 15th in the league in total runs and 26th in batting average. The Pirates are 22nd in average and 22nd in total runs. These lineups are not ones that are likely to explode for more than 4-5 runs max per game. Martinez is pitching the best he has all season for the Reds and Keller is carrying a sub 4.00 ERA. We believe this is going to be a quick and quiet game with the under coming through for us.
Our prediction for Cincinnati Reds vs Pittsburgh Pirates: UNDER 9, -115 at Draftkings.
