Reds vs Diamondbacks MLB Betting Preview
The series finale between the Cincinnati Reds and Arizona Diamondbacks presents an opportunity to capitalize on the volume Reds starter Andrew Abbott will be given this afternoon.
Abbott has not been great this season by any stretch, and on paper, he is not an arm to target for strikeouts, nor does he have a great matchup. Abbot's CSW and strikeout rates are below average, and the Diamondbacks hold the lowest strikeout rate against lefties in the majors.
However, Arizona is a very aggressive lineup. Their aggression has led to success on pitches in the zone, as they have a tremendous contact rate above 80 percent and the second-lowest swinging strike rate against lefties.
Although their confidence in putting the ball in play has led them to chase over 30 percent of the time and getting batters to chase is where Abbott has found success this season. His chase rate is still above average, and the hole in the Diamondbacks' approach affords him the chance to rack up strikeouts.
An additional key to this angle is the length Abbott may be forced to give in this matchup. The Reds bullpen is likely to lack an arm that can eat up multiple innings in the middle innings, and Abbott's Outs Recorded prop total is at 16.5, suggesting he's likely to work into the sixth inning here.
Length and surpassing this total have been highly correlated for Abbott this season. He's exceeded this total in 17 of his 26 starts, and he's gone at least 5.1 innings in 16 of those 17 starts.
Arizona's prowess has created tremendous value in the price of this over, and we have to capitalize on it.
