Washington Nationals vs Cincinnati Reds Predictions 6/3/2022

Cincinnati began the season with a 3-22 record, and the belief was that they may vie for the poorest record in major league history. Despite their defeat on Wednesday, the Reds gained 14 of their previous 24 games and sit in last place in the NL Central, 13.5 matches behind the Brewers for first place.

Cincinnati got two singles apiece from Aristides Aquino (run) and Brandon Drury against Boston on Wednesday, but it wasn’t quite enough to win.

In this game, the Reds’ Mike Minor takes the mound for the first time this season. Last year, he made 28 appearances for the Royals, finishing 8-12 with a 5.05 ERA, 1.242 WHIP, 41 walks, and 149 strikeouts in 158.2 innings. Minor was signed in March but had a setback in spring training.

This season, he pitched five rehab innings for Double-A Chattanooga of the Southern League and Triple-A Louisville of the International League.

Over 17.2 innings of work, he went 1-3 with a 6.11 ERA, a 1.245 WHIP, two walks, and 21 strikeouts. In this game, Minor makes his 12th career appearance against the Nationals.

The Cincinnati Reds are 6-2 SU in their last 8 matches.
Cincinnati is 5-1 SU in their last 6 matches at home.
The Reds are 4-1 SU in their last 5 matches at home against Washington.

Washington Nationals vs Cincinnati Reds. The MLB pick for this game is the Cincinnati Reds. We’re dealing with two last-place teams, but their prospects appear to be very different. Washington battled with subpar pitching and was unable to form any sort of cohesive unit.

One has to believe that Dave Martinez’s leash is becoming shorter. In the meanwhile, following a poor start to the season, the Reds won .583 of their past 24 matches heading into Thursday.

The Reds have Luis Castillo back, and they have the makings of a solid front-end rotation with Minor and Tyler Mahle. Gray, although having a winning record, struggled to put zeros on the board.

The Reds are riding high right now, and they have home-field advantage. Take the Reds to win again against a faltering Nationals team. The Cincinnati Reds will win to a predicted score of 5-4.
