Cincinnati Reds Prop Bets - Tuesday 5/30/23

The Cincinnati Reds invade Fenway Park on Tuesday evening to take on the Red Sox of Boston. The Reds come into this contest on a 3-game winning streak and sit at 24-29. The Red Sox have won 2 out of their last 3 contests, and have a record of 28-25. These squads split their 4-game series down the middle last season. This contest puts Red Sox starter Brayan Bello against Reds' righty Ben Lively. Bello is 3-2 with an ERA of 4.08, while Lively is 2-2 with an ERA of 2.65. 

Pick: Matt McLain to record a double

Pick: Matt McLain to record a steal

McLain went off yesterday going 4 for 5 with a double and RBI in the Reds 8-5 win over Chicago. That makes him 15 for his last 31, which is just eye-popping. He also has speed that jumps off of the page. He only has one stolen base this season, but had 27 swiped bags in just 103 games in the Minors last season. Look for McLain to pick up a stolen base and for him to rip a double off of the Monster as he continues his hot-hitting.

Pick: Jake Fraley over 0.5 hits

Fraley is 3 for 3 against Bello in his career. He had a rough day at the plate yesterday going 0 for 5 against Chicago, so he will be looking to rebound in Boston against a familiar foe in Bello. Expect Jake to find his swing against Bello as he continues his dominance over the Chowder pitcher.

Pick: Reds win race to 5 hits

The Reds have been collecting hits in bunches as of late, especially against the Chicago Cubs. In their 3-game series, Cincinnati had 19, 12, and 14 hits in their respective games at Wrigley. Reds' hitters are completely locked in on this current 3-game win streak, and now they get to face a pitcher who has given up at least 6 hits in 3 out of his 4 last starts. The Red Sox pitcher has surrendered 39 hits on the season so far. Look for the Reds to pounce on Bello early and get to 5 hits as a team before the BoSox do.
