Boston Red Sox at Cincinnati Reds 9/21/22 - MLB Picks & Predictions

The Great American Ball Park will play host to a Wednesday night MLB interleague battle between the Boston Red Sox and the Cincinnati Reds. The Red Sox (72-75) are three games below .500 on the road and are stuck in the AL East Division basement. Last night, All-Star 3B Rafael Devers hit a two-run blast to power Boston to a 5-3 road victory against Cincinnati.

Boston manager Joey Cora has yet to name a starting pitcher for this game. The Red Sox rank in the bottom third of the majors with a 4.45 team ERA and have logged 42 quality starts.

The Cincinnati Reds have lost eight of their last ten games and have been unable to overcome their dreadful 3-22 start to the year. On Tuesday, Cincinnati batters went 0-for-9 with runners in scoring position and left ten men on base. SP Nick Lodolo (4-7) gave up three runs in five innings and took the loss for the Reds, who fell to 58-90 on the year.

Thirty-four year old righty Chase Anderson (1-3 6.43 ERA) will make his fifth start of the season for the Reds. Last time out, Anderson allowed one run in five innings during a 3-2 road victory against St. Louis.
