Phillies vs Reds: Pitching preview
Spencer Turnbull (2-0, 1.23 ERA) vs Nick Lodolo (2-0, 0.75 ERA)
Spencer Turnbull was electric in his most recent start, going 7 innings against the White Sox and giving up just 1 hit in the process. He’s interestingly thrown 6+ K’s 3 of his 4 appearances this season which is something to note against a Reds side that seemed to find some life last night. Turnbull will need to rekindle that White Sox fire if he’s going to keep them quiet in front of their home fans.
Across from Turnbull will be Nick Lodolo, who has been nothing short of excellent this season. Through 2 games, the ace has only allowed 1 run and struck out 16 in the process. However, the Angels did ding him for 7 hits in his most recent start, and this is a Phillies side that boasts an army of explosive bats.
Phillies vs Reds: Betting preview
The Phillies put up a rare dud last night. They still sit 13th in league batting average and 8th in their last 3 games, even after last night’s offensive struggles. Although Lodolo will be tough to combat, the Phils have enough firepower to score here, especially after he yielded 7 hits last time out. I like the Phillies +1.5 tonight with that in mind.
Betting pick: Philadelphia Phillies +1.5 (-180)
Prop bet fun
It could be wise to look at Spencer Turnbull’s strikeout prop. It sits at 5.5 and as aforementioned, he’s gone over 6 in 3 of his first 4 outings this season. You could bet the under expecting a slight regression, but Cincy still rank near the bottom of the league in batting average, so I like the over once more.
