REDS VS DIAMONDBACKS PREDICTION
The Reds are off to a hot start and there has been no shortage of offense. The Reds rank #1 in Runs scored(9.5 per game), team batting average(.316), home runs per game(2.33), and OPS(1.002). The D-Backs are struggling offensively and being without Ketel Marte as of yesterday to join Calhoun, and Ahmed on the IL will make things even more difficult. Take the Reds to win this one.
