Best bets: Why Reds have first chance for series sweep since Aug. 12
The last time the Cincinnati Reds were on the verge of sweeping a series, infielder Christian Colón grounded into a double play to end a 5-4 loss to the Kansas City Royals on Aug. 12.
That loss dropped the Reds out of second place in the NL Central. In Wednesday night’s game against the Pittsburgh Pirates, the Reds can sweep the Pirates and get back to second place in the division for the first time in over a month.
Here is what you need to know heading into the game.
The Line: Reds (-240)
Over/Under: 8.5 (-115)
Probable pitchers: Luis Castillo (3.44) vs. JT Brubaker (5.34)
Reds over 5 runs: (-105)
