Philadelphia Phillies vs. Cincinnati Reds
Tuesday, April 23, 2024 – 06:40 PM ET at Great American Ball Park
A long, 10-game road trip got off to a winning start for Philadelphia as Monday’s win in Cincinnati extended the win streak to 7-straight. Now the Phillies turn to Christopher Sanchez (1-2, 2.53) while the Reds send Andrew Abbott (1-2, 2.70) to the mound, and Bookmaker has the visitors chalked at -120.
Mound Rematch From April 1st Contest
Sanchez and Abbott faced each other in their season debuts back on April 1st in Philadelphia where Cincinnati scored a 6-3 decision. Neither factored into the decision, each pitching 5+ innings and allowing 2 runs.
Sanchez is coming off a solid effort last Wednesday against the Rockies, logging 6 frames with 10 Ks and just 1 run allowed in a 7-6 dubya. Abbott suffered the loss last week in Seattle, receiving no support with 6 innings of 2-run baseball.
Umpire Notes, Mother Nature & The Pick
Veteran umpire Phil Cuzzi (3-1 O/U) should have the plate in this one, and bettors will want to keep an eye on the weather in Porkopolis where there is the potential for rain in the early evening hours. Let’s start our Tuesday night free MLB picks with a winner on the game going ‘over’ the total.
