Our Betting Pick for Today – Bet the REDS ML +118
The Reds have been playing superior baseball over recent weeks and should keep Lyles winless on Tuesday night. Lyles’ penchant for giving up long balls should play in their favor against a Royals lineup hitting just.240 against lefties this season while scoring only 1.6 runs per game in their last five contests heading into Monday’s series opener against them. Meanwhile, Reds pitcher Williamson has won four out of his five starts. KC have only managed nine home wins this year, take the Reds on the Money Line.
