The Reds offense woke up yesterday, with Matt McLain, Elly De La Cruz and Sal Stewart combining for six hits and four RBIs.
Last season, Cincinnati hitters fared much better at home, with a .251 average and .401 slugging compared to .238 and .381 on the road.
With a healthy McLain, the talent of Stewart, and the welcome additions of Eugenio Suarez and Nathaniel Lowe, look for the Reds to do more damage at the Great American Ballpark this year.
Pick: Reds Moneyline (+116, FanDuel)
