Tuesday MLB Free Picks
(The Spread) – The Phillies will look to make it four out of their last five and two in a row when they host the Reds tonight at 7:05PM ET.
Oddsmakers from online sports book Bodog.com have made the Phillies –111 money line favorites over the Reds, who are +105 on the ML. The over/under for tonight’s game is currently 8 runs.
As previously mentioned, the Phillies have won three of their last four games and beat the Reds by a final of 10-3 on Monday. Jimmy Rollins, Placido Polanco and Raul Ibanez all homered in the victory, while catcher Carlos Ruiz went 3-for-3 with a run scored and a walk.
Meanwhile, the Reds are currently on a six-game losing streak and have given up 22 runs in the past two games. Johnny Cueto will take the hill tonight looking to pick up his third victory of the season. He’s currently 2-1 with a 1.45 ERA over just 18.2 innings of work.
MLB Free Pick: Even though he went 0-for-5 in his season debut, Chase Utley no doubt gives the Phillies’ offense a spark. Philly hopes that his return off the disabled list will ignite a rather stagnant Phillies’ O, whether he comes out of the gates on fire or not. Cueto has pitched well in limited action this year, but the Reds are 7-20 in their last 27 trips to Philadelphia and 8-23 in their last 31 meetings overall with the Phillies. According to latest MLB trends, they’re also 1-4 in Cueto’s last five starts against Philadelphia, which is 51-21 in its last 74 home games. Take the Phillies.
