Phillies vs Reds Betting Preview
A National League series concludes Wednesday afternoon when the Philadelphia Phillies (65-51, 33-25 away) visit the Cincinnati Reds (45-70, 25-36 home). Philadelphia is 9.5 games back in the NL East, but currently occupy the second NL Wild Card spot and have a 2.5 game cushion. This game will air live on ESPN+.
Kyle Schwarber has been mashing this season as he has hit a team high 34 home runs and knocked in 69 RBIs. Alec Bohm leads the way with a .289 batting average. Philadelphia is batting .251 and the pitchers have recorded a 3.73 ERA and 1.21 WHIP.
Brandon Drury is having a nice season for the Reds as he leads the team with 20 home runs, 59 RBIs and a .274 batting average. One issue with that, however, is that Drury is now a San Diego Padre, and a big chunk of the Reds offense is gone. Cincinnati is hitting .240 and the pitchers have combined for a 5.09 ERA and 1.42 WHIP.
