Cincinnati Reds vs. Oakland Athletics Betting Preview
Starting Pitchers
Luis Cessa (Reds)
Cessa will be coming into his fourth start of the year and has the MLB player stats of 0-3 on the season. It has been hard to watch the Reds as they continue to struggle, as their pitching has hurt them at the start of this season. Cessa will look to get his first win tonight as the Athletic do not have that great of bats in the lineup. Look for Cessa to get at least five to six punchouts and give up a maximum of five hits.
Kyle Muller (Athletics)
One of the Oakland Athletics players, Muller, is getting his sixth start of the year tomorrow already and has a record of 0-2 to start the season. Muller has not looked great at all this season, as in the five games he has pitched, he has given up 35 total hits, which is way too many in five games. Look for the Reds to have a field day on Muller, as he has been struggling as of early.
