Cincinnati Reds vs. Toronto Blue Jays preview
The Blue Jays arrive in Cincinnati riding a strong offensive surge that's seen them plate 4.9 runs per game this season, ranking 7th in MLB, while the Reds counter with a solid 3.85 team ERA that sits 13th in the league.
Shane Bieber takes the mound for Toronto with an impressive 3.21 career ERA and nearly 1,000 strikeouts under his belt, facing off against Cincinnati's Zack Littell, who brings a 3.84 career mark and has been steady for the Reds' rotation.
Toronto's lineup has been launching baseballs at a prolific pace with 164 home runs this year, but they'll need to solve a Cincinnati pitching staff that's allowed just 157 long balls through 138 games.
The Reds find themselves in a familiar spot as home underdogs, sitting at 70-68 while the Blue Jays have surged to 79-59 behind a balanced attack that's produced 679 runs and maintained a .337 on-base percentage.
Cincinnati's bullpen has been inconsistent with just a 61.5% save rate, which could prove costly in what projects to be a tight contest at Great American Ball Park.
Both teams enter this midweek showdown looking to gain momentum, with Toronto seeking to build on their strong season and the Reds hoping their home field advantage can level the playing field against the favored visitors.
