Cincinnati Reds (104) over Cleveland Indians (1.0 Units) - The battle of the two Ohio teams has basically boiled down to about a pick'em game. The Reds may be the home team here but they aren't getting much home field advantage love from the books because of their 9-11 home records contrasted with a 13-8 road record. This also goes along with the fact that they have been averaging only 3.4 runs a game L5 and are similarly bad against lefties and they face one today.
But on the flip side, the Indians are just 9-16 on the road. They are only 7-13L20 and have been on the road since May 14. There aren't very many good factors going either way in this game LOL. For that reason, this game is pegged a pick'em.
But the interleague home field advantage reins more supreme. And the fact that these Reds won in game 1 gives us confident they can pull out game 2.
