Washington at Cincinnati

Premium Pick

Cincinnati suffered an extra-inning loss on Friday night when Lane Thomas hit his second homer of the night, which was a two-run shot in the 10th. The Reds had won the previous four meetings and they will have Andrew Abbott on the mound today and he is 6-2 with a 2.35 ERA and 1.03 WHIP and Cincinnati has won his past three starts. Abbott has allowed only six runs his past 23 1/3 innings and he has been especially tough at home where he is 2-1 with a 1.60 ERA and .118 opponent batting average and the Nationals will be seeing him for the first time. Joan Adon will start a bullpen game for Washington, which is mired in last place in the NL East. The Nationals are 7-2 UNDER their past nine games and Cincinnati is 10-2 UNDER its past 12 home games. The Nationals average only 4.4 runs per game. Take the Reds and the UNDER.
