Preview

The Arizona Diamondbacks and the Cincinnati Reds will play the 4th game series at the Great American Ball Park on Thursday. The Ddbacks took the win 7-0 on Wednesday but the Reds have the lead 2-1 on the series.

Arizona Diamondbacks

The Diamondbacks get to this game with a 27-31 record and have lost 4 of their last 5 games. The team is averaging 3.9 runs per game and allowing 4.5 runs. Christian Walker leads with 15 home runs and 28 RBI and Ketel Marte is batting for .268 AVG.

Merrill Kelly tossed 6 scoreless innings and earned the win on the 3rd of the series against the Reds. He leads the team with a 3.32 ERA and 54 strikeouts and 5 wins recorded.

Probable Pitcher:

Zach Davies (2-3, 4.18 ERA) will be on the mound for the Diamondbacks in the 4th game of the series. Davies threw 7.2 scoreless innings Saturday against the Pirates, allowing three hits and two walks with six strikeouts but didn't factor into the decision. In his last 3 starts against the Reds he has a 3.60 ERA and 14 strikeouts in 15 innings.

Cincinnati Reds

The Reds get here with a 20-36 record and have lost 4 of their last 6 games. The team is averaging 4.29 runs while allowing 5.4 runs per game. Brandon Dury leads the team with 28 RBI and 10 home runs. Kyle Farmer is batting for .265 avg.

Hunter Green tossed 7 scoreless innings earning the win against the Dbacks and leads the pitching staff with a 5.40 ERA, 72 strikeouts and 3 wins recorded for the Reds.

Probable Pitcher: 

Tyler Mahle (2-5, 5.43 ERA) will start for the Reds in the 4th game of the series. Mahle didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 10-8 loss to the Nationals, allowing three runs on seven hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out six. He had 2 starts agaisnt the Dbacks last season and allowed zero runs and struck out 15 across 10.2 innings.

BETTING TRENDS

The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Arizona's last 5 games.

Arizona are 1-4 SU in their last 5 games.

The total has gone UNDER in 8 of Cincinnati's last 12 games.

Cincinnati are 2-4 SU in their last 6 games.

Prediction

The Reds couldn't do much against Merrill Kelly and the Dbacks bullpen as they lost 7-0 on Wednesday and they'll now face Zach Davies who's coming from a great game where he didn't allow a single run in 7 innings. The Dbacks will send Tyler Mahle to the mound and hasn't allow a run in his last 2 starts against the Dbacks. I'm not expecting a very low score but the I think the total has been set to high. Take the under.

PICK: Under 9.5 (-110)
