Cincinnati Reds DFS SPIN
Donovan Solano (eye) was held out of the Reds lineup on Sunday against the Brewers. Solano wound up missing all three games against the Brewers over the weekend due to an eye infection. There’s still no clear timetable on when he may be ready to return to the lineup. Matt Reynolds started in his place at first base on Sunday afternoon.
Pittsburgh Pirates DFS SPIN
Ke’Bryan Hayes went 2-for-4 with a double on Sunday in his return to the Pirates’ lineup. Hayes returned to Pittsburgh’s lineup following a three-game absence due to lower back discomfort. It’s possible he’ll continue to get some additional time off over the final week of the regular season with the Pirates out of playoff contention.

Reds vs. Pirates MLB BETTING PREDICTION
I’m somewhat intrigued by the Reds on the moneyline, simply because they’re playing a bad Pirates team and we can get plus odds. However, as you can see from the trends above, it’s not as if the Reds are some sort of wise play. Instead, I’m taking the under, which cashed in eight of the Reds’ last nine games overall, in six of their last seven divisional games and is 5-2-1 in the Pirates’ last eight games against NL Central opponents.
