Game Betting Preview

PITCHING MATCHUP: Reds RH Anthony DeSclafani (2-2, 4.60 ERA) vs. Cubs RH Kyle Hendricks (4-4, 3.21)

DeSclafani has allowed four runs in four innings in each of his last two starts, including a loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers in his last turn as he served up three homers. The 29-year-old has pitched five or fewer innings in five of his nine starts but has 50 strikeouts in 45 innings. DeSclafani is 3-3 with a 3.86 ERA in nine career starts against the Cubs and has shut down Anthony Rizzo (4-for-24, one homer, six strikeouts) while struggling with Kris Bryant (5-for-15, one double).

Hendricks defeated the Washington Nationals in his last turn despite allowing four runs and six hits over 5 2/3 innings. The 29-year-old gave up one earned run and 12 hits over 25 innings in his previous three starts, including a four-hit shutout of the St. Louis Cardinals on May 3. Hendricks is 6-2 with a 3.23 ERA in 14 career starts against the Reds and has repeatedly had issues with Votto (9-for-21 with three homers and 11 walks).

Baseball News

Chris Paddack Player Prop Bets

Paddack recorded 10 strikeouts over seven shutout innings on Monday in a win over the White Sox. Prior to that start, Paddack was obliterated by the Orioles, allowing nine runs on 12 hits in 5 1/3 innings.

Zach Eflin Player Prop Bets

Zach Eflin has great value in fantasy leagues for the April 26 game against the lowly Chicago White Sox.  Betting on Eflin and the Tampa Bay Rays might make sense if not for the -210 price tag.

Trevor Williams Player Prop Bets

The Nats Trevor Williams held the Astros to one run with four strikeouts across six innings in a no-decision on Saturday.  And the betting public was eating him up at a near 80% clip.
