This game is the second installment in the three-game series, taking place at The Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati, OH! The Padres will be certainly looking to add to their clout and build on their second place standing in the NL West, by minimizing the distance between them and division leaders, the LA Dodgers. As of right now, they’re still eight games out, and haven’t quite broken .500, though close at an overall 25-26. Being on the road for this series, they’ll need to find their groove as they will return home to host the Yankees after this series.
For their part, the Reds just haven’t been measuring up this season. Although they were able to pull off the W in game 1 of this series, they had lost three in a row before that, and have lost seven of their last ten. They will likely be starting pitcher Nick Martinez, who has performed well lately, with a 1.08 ERA and 7 K’s vs 5 hits allowed in his last three appearances. The Padres, on the other hand, will start pitcher Michael King, who himself has 21 strikeouts and 15 hits allowed for a 2.95 ERA in recent appearances.

Our Cincinnati Reds vs San Diego Padres Prediction
It’s the Padres’ game to lose and the Reds’ to win, given the San Diegans’ desire to stay hot on the road. However, coming off a Game 1 win at home, the Reds will look to please their home crowd once more. When the Reds have won, they haven’t tended to be high scoring games, and similarly, we don’t expect a blowout by the Padres here. FanDuel sets the Over/Under at 9.5 runs but we’re going with under in a same game parlay. Our prediction for Cincinnati Reds vs San Diego Padres: Fewer than 9.5 runs scored & Padres to Win.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
