Cincinnati Reds vs. Toronto Blue Jays preview
The Blue Jays arrive in Cincinnati carrying solid momentum at 78-58, sitting comfortably ahead of the Reds who find themselves at 69-68 and fighting to stay relevant in the playoff race.
Jose Berrios takes the mound for Toronto with a respectable 4.06 ERA, facing off against Cincinnati's Nick Lodolo who mirrors that production at 4.07 ERA in what should be a well-matched pitching duel.
Toronto's offense has been clicking at a higher gear, averaging 4.9 runs per game compared to Cincinnati's 4.44, with the Blue Jays' power surge of 162 home runs providing a clear advantage over the Reds' 134 long balls.
The key storyline centers on Cincinnati's home field advantage at Great American Ball Park, where they'll need to capitalize on every opportunity against a Blue Jays team that's been one of the more consistent clubs in the second half.
Both bullpens carry similar save percentages around 62-63%, suggesting late innings could come down to execution rather than depth, making starter length crucial for both Berrios and Lodolo.
With the Reds' defensive efficiency ranking 7th in baseball at 70.9% compared to Toronto's 12th-place mark, expect Cincinnati to rely on clean fielding to keep this tight contest within reach.
