BETTING TRENDS
Cincinnati Reds are 1-5 SU in their last 6 games against Philadelphia.
The total has gone OVER in 6 of Cincinnati's last 7 games on the road.
Cincinnati Reds are 1-4 SU in their last 5 games when playing on the road against Philadelphia.
Philadelphia are 11-4 SU in their last 15 games at home.
Philadelphia are 9-3 SU in their last 12 games when playing at home against Cincinnati.
Prediction
The Phillies offense continue to stay hot and are averaging 6.7 runs per game in the last 4 games. For the final game of this series they'll send Aaron Nola to the mound who struggled in his last start but was against the Mets so we can't blame him. Justin Dunn will take the mound for the Reds who's coming from his best start of his short season where he allowed only 1 run across 5 innings pitched. The Phillies haven't been profitable against the spread at home with a 30-35 record while the Reds are 30-30 ATS on the road. Expect another close game so we get the Reds in the run line with good value.
PICK: Reds +1.5 (+125)
