In this bet, we are focusing on the matchup between the two starting pitchers. Guardians starter Noah Syndergaard has a 6.35 ERA and 5.79 FIP this season. He’s allowing an average of over 2 home runs per 9 innings. His strikeouts per 9 innings is at a career low (4.2). Earlier this month, the Chicago White Sox hit 4 home runs off of Syndergaard! On the Reds side of this starting pitching matchup is lefty Andrew Abbott. The rookie has an impressive 2.75 ERA and 0.91 WHIP in 39.1 innings pitched at home this season. Abbott had 9 strikeouts in his last start. It’s also worth noting that the Guardians have been awful at hitting left handed pitching this season. Cleveland has a league worst (.650) OPS against lefties this season. Our wager is on the Reds first 5 innings moneyline. Be sure to place your wager in the 2-way market, which does not include a tie. If this game is tied through 5 innings, the ticket will void rather than lose.
