Cincinnati Red vs Arizona Diamondbacks Picks and Preview

In the thick if the National League Wild Card race, the Arizona Diamondbacks look to continue the hot hitting against a weak Cincinnati pitching staff. The Diamondbacks opened the series with a 9-0 rout last night. Gabriel Moreno opened the scoring with a RBI single in the bottom of the 1st and Arizona never looked back. The Diamondbacks enter this contest 1 game behind the San Diego Padres for the final NL Wild card spot. It has been a week of turmoil for the D-Backs as star 2nd baseman Ketel Marte mysteriously no showed a game earlier in the week, he was placed on the injured list with what is being called a knee injury. Despite Marte's absence the Arizona offense has put up 16 runs over their last 2 games. Will that continue tonight? Let's dive in…

Cincinnati Reds vs Arizona Diamondbacks Predictions and Best Bets

Game Pick: Arizona Diamondbacks Team Total Over 4.5 +107 Lucky Rebel

The Arizona Diamondbacks have been inconsistent offensively over the course of the season but they are hitting now (16 runs over their last 2 games) and have taken advantage of poor pitching staffs, which is what they face tonight. Cincinnati's starter Rheett Lowder has struggled on the road this season. In 11 road starts, Lowder owns a 7.23 ERA, 1.80 WHIP and a .301 BAA. Behind him his a bullpen that is 6th worst in Major League Baseball with a 4.55 ERA. At home this season, the Arizona Diamondbacks average 4.6 runs/9 against right handed pitching. Books are taking the Marte absence into account with setting this number but they should not be plus money on their team total in this matchup. Arizona still has some offensive pieces and I like them to put up some crooked numbers tonight.

Player Prop: Gabriel Moreno Over 1.5 Total Bases +125 Lucky Rebel

Gabriel Moreno is having a very nice season for the Diamondbacks. The Arizona catcher is hitting .308 with 10 home runs and 63 runs batted in, all career highs. He is hitting .318 vs right handers, with 6 home runs 37 runs batted in. Moreno has hit this mark in 12 of his last 14 games, totaling 38 bases. Finally, Moreno is 2/3 lifetime vs Lowder with a double.

Player Prop: Corbin Carroll Over 2.5 Hits+Runs+RBIs +143 Lucky Rebel

Corbin Carroll is having a down year this season as he is hitting .248 with 18 home runs and 57 runs batted in. He has hit much better at home where he owns a .265 average with 12 home runs and 41 runs batted in, adding in 40 runs scored. Carroll has hit this mark in 4 straight home games, totaling 15 hits, runs and runs batted in. Finally, he is 1/3 lifetime vs Lowder with a home run.

 

Rhett Lowder ranks in the 18th percentile among pitchers by allowing a 9.6% barrel rate this season. By comparison, Gabriel Moreno sits in the 50th percentile among hitters with a 7.6% barrel rate, while Corbin Carroll ranks in the 77th percentile with an 11.7% barrel rate. Another reason why I like both of these hitters to do some damage tonight.
