Free MLB Pick
Arizona has taken four of the five meetings and with the Reds in a nasty seven game slide there is some value in backing the Diamondbacks in this spot but we prefer the total. The Reds hitters have had some success against Delgado and he’ll be making his first start this season and may find himself in trouble by the fourth. Cincinnati starter Anthony Desclafani had an adequate outing against Arizona in his only career start against them earlier this month, but they got to him for 10 hits in six innings but he managed to hold them to three runs. Note that he’s worse at home than on the road with a 5.40 ERA in 10 starts.
