Arizona Diamondbacks at Cincinnati Reds 6/7/22 - MLB Picks & Predictions

The Great American Ball Park will play host to a Tuesday night MLB clash between the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Cincinnati Reds. The Diamondbacks (26-30) have dropped three straight games and are sitting in fourth place in the NL West Division. Last night, Arizona was limited to a bunt single to lead off the game during a rain-shortened 7-0 road loss against Cincinnati.

Arizona manager Torey Lovullo has yet to name a starting pitcher for this game. The Diamondbacks currently rank 22nd in the majors with a 4.19 team ERA and have logged 13 quality starts.

The Cincinnati Reds started the season by losing 22 of their first 25 games and are trying to climb their way back into NL Central Division contention. On Monday, rookie SP Hunter Greene retired eight batters by strikes to improved to 3-7 on the season. 3B Brandon Drury homered and scored a pair of runs for the Reds (19-35).

Rookie right-hander Graham Ashcraft (2-0 1.53 ERA) will make his fourth career major league start for the Reds. Last time out, Ashcraft allowed one run across seven frames during an 8-1 home victory versus Washington.

Cincinnati 2B Jonathan India will begin a rehab assignment on Tuesday with Triple-A Louisville. Through 56 games, Arizona ranks 20th in OPS and 25th in runs scored. For the season, Cincinnati ranks 23rd in OPS and 16th in runs scored. Take the Reds to win at home. Final Score Prediction, Cincinnati Reds win 5-3.
