The 6-6 Cincinnati Reds have lost their last two games but a trip to the south side tonight for a matchup with the 2-10 Chicago White Sox might be just what the doctor ordered. The expected starters for tonight’s game are lefty Andrew Abbott for the Big Red Machine and Chris Flexen for the White Sox. In two starts this season, Abbott is 0-1 with a 3.38 ERA and a 1.35 WHIP. Flexen is 0-2 with a 5.91 ERA and a 1.59 WHIP. The Reds should be able to get to Flexen. They are averaging over 5 runs per game and over 8 hits. The White Sox are just 1-4 at home and have had issues with left-handed starters. They are just 1-6 in their last 7 against southpaws and 1-8 in their last 9 against the NL Central.
TONIGHT’S PICK: CINCINNATI REDS
