Pick
The Reds come into this matchup playing very well recently and they were able to get the win in Game 1 of this series. The Red Sox have been the better offensive team this season, but they have had some pitching issues. Boston is starting James Paxton, who has allowed eight earned runs over his last three starts (14.0 IP). Cincinnati is starting Luke Weaver, who has allowed one earned run or fewer in two of his last three starts, but has also allowed four earned runs in three of his last five starts. Weaver has been too inconsistent for my liking, so I am going to take the Red Sox -1.5 in this game.
