The MLB previews tip this team as one of the top contenders for this years MLB title.After losing three straight MLB betting games to the St. Louis Cardinals, their main competition in the National League Central, the Cincinnati Reds have gotten red hot once again and have re-established some distance between them and the Cardinals for top spot. Since the three-game sweep, the Reds have won eight of ten games, including their own three-game sweeps of both the Florida Marlins at home, and in the desert against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Reds have not only gotten the job done defensively with some excellent pitching, but have also seen their offense step up to make a major impact, as illustrated by the fact that they have put up five or more runs in seven of those ten games.
The three-game sweep by the Cardinals was bookmarked by a nine-game winning streak for the Reds, proof that although this team struggled in that series they are still for real. Manager Dusty Baker has gotten his team ready for every contest, and most importantly, the Reds have been just as good on the road as they have been at home, with 36 wins for both sides. It has been a two-team race in the NL Central, with the runner up a prime candidate for the NL Wild Card spot, but at this point in the online sports betting season it appears as though Baker’s squad has one goal: a division crown. Whether they achieve that goal or not is yet to be determined, but at this point it appears as though the Reds are a legitimate contender.
