I don't see the Reds sweeping the Rays. Cincinnati still has lost 40 of the past 54 times when meeting a foe with a winning record despite winning the first two games of this series.

The Rays have some injuries, but hold a strong pitching edge with Shane Baz going against rookie Nick Lodolo and a bad Reds bullpen that has a 5.51 ERA. Lodolo has a 4.19 ERA and 1.49 WHIP. This will be his fifth start.

Baz has a far higher ceiling. He has a 2.92 ERA and is in excellent form, surrendering just three runs in his last 22 1/3 innings spanning four starts.
