Cincinnati Reds vs Pittsburgh Pirates. MLB’s pick for the 3rd game will go to the Cincinnati Reds -135. Both pitchers are having a terrible season, which the same can be said to both teams overall. They are low scoring teams with abysmal batting performances. The Reds have the better bullpen overall which puts them on a slight edge in this matchup. Desclafani won’t last long in the game with the way he is playing this season, so their bullpen will back him up. The Reds won 4 of their last games against the Pirates and will also win in this match predicted at 6-4.
