Ryu Has Pitched Better

The Reds are averaging 4.79 runs while their pitching is giving up 4.95 runs per Game. The offense is ranked ninth while the pitching is ranked 24th. Spencer Steer has hit 18 home runs and driven in 66 RBIs.On the mound for the Reds will be Hunter Greene who sits with a 2-4 record and an ERA of 3.93.

Shane’s Free Pick

Ryu has been pitched well heading into this game and he’s going to do it again here. The Reds offense has been a bit inconsistent and even when they won on Monday the offense only managed one run. The Blue Jays are going to score a couple of runs off of Hunter Greene and that is going to be enough for them to get the job done. Back the Blue Jays on the money line to cash.
