Tonight at 7:10 PM, the Cincinnati Reds (14-15) will look to win their first Ohio Cup title since 2014 when they travel north up I-71 for three games against the Cleveland Indians (17-13) this weekend. The Reds are just 23-37 all-time in Cleveland.
The Indians come in hot as they’ve won 5 straight games and 9 of their last 11. The Indians have been a two man show offensively: Jose Ramirez (156 wRC+) and Franmil Reyes (164 wRC+). They do not have another regular above average hitter in their lineup.
The Reds are very fortune that they won’t see Shane Bieber this weekend.
