• Pirates 6 Reds 1
  • The Reds have an issue regarding shortstop Jose Barrero. It’s been three brief seasons, but Barrero has been extremely underwhelming as a hitter in all three. Posting a career OPS of just .470, the 24-year-old may be running out of time to make an impression, especially considering Cincinnati has an abundance of talent at shortstop in the minors.
• Guardians 3 Angels 1
  • Cleveland may be running away with the AL Central. At three games up on the White Sox, the Guardians have won five straight. James Karinchak and Emmanuel Clase are an intimidating duo at the back of the bullpen.
