Before making any Reds vs. Nationals picks, you NEED to see the latest MLB predictions from the SportsLine Projection Model.
The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every MLB game 10,000 times. It went 331-285 on top-rated MLB money-line picks (+357) over the past two seasons. It has excelled on top-rated run-line picks this season, going 11-2 (+604). Anybody following has seen big returns!
The model knows Gore was dealing with a blister on the middle finger of his pitching hand in his last start, which was his worst outing of the season. He was coming off a win against San Diego in his prior start, allowing one run across five innings while striking out the first six batters he faced. Washington has room for improvement following Wednesday's loss, as it squandered a bases-loaded, no-out chance in the second inning to go along with committing two errors and allowing four stolen bases in the game.
The model also knows Cincinnati has homered in 19 consecutive games, marking the second-longest streak in franchise history behind a 21-game streak in 1956. Cincinnati has won seven consecutive road series following its 16-hit performance on Wednesday. Star rookie Elly De La Cruz homered and doubled twice, while Joey Votto homered and notched two singles. Every starter in the lineup had at least one base knock for the Reds.
Now, it has set its sights on Nationals vs. Reds. We can tell you the model is leaning Under on the run total, and it also says one side of the money line has ALL the value! You ABSOLUTELY need to see it before locking in any MLB picks.
