SIGNATURE CAKEWALK! **PERFECT 7-0 RECORD!**
(MLB) Red Sox (BOS) vs. Reds (CIN),
Money Line: -154.00 Reds (CIN) (Home)
Result: Loss
At 1:40 ET, my Cakewalk selection is on the Cincinnati Reds. The Reds won Friday. The Red Sox took yesterday's game. Both those games were regular starter versus starter matchups. Abbott vs. Crawford on Friday and Montas vs Pivetta on Saturday. Sunday's series finale features a starter for the Reds vs a reliever for the Red Sox. That's a big advantage for the Reds. Even better, the Reds starter is Nick Lodolo and he's been dynamite. On the season, Lodolo is 8-2 with a 2.76 ERA. He has 70 strikeouts in 65 innings and a 1.01 WHIP. He's allowed 2 runs or less in 5 straight starts. After he dominated the Pirates last game, Pittsburgh manager Derek Shelton said this of Lodolo: “This guy’s one of the best left-handers in the game. The ability to throw the slider back foot to right-handers and then throw the fastball at 94 to 95 [mph], often to the inner lane of the plate -- there’s not too many guys in the game that can do that. That slider is elite.” Play on Cincinnati.
