The Reds have more talent and a far superior bullpen than the Twins. Yet Minnesota is favored because they are home and the starting pitching matchup is Andrew Abbott (0-2, 5.85 ERA) vs. Taj Bradley (3-0, 1.25 ERA). Abbott is better than his record shows, while Bradley has rarely displayed this kind of consistency. The Rays gave up on Bradley, who finished 6-8 with a 5.05 ERA last year. Bradley is 22-27 lifetime with a 4.67 ERA. The Twins are one of those teams that lack a true closer. Abbott went 10-7 with a 2.85 ERA last season. Cincinnati has the lowest bullpen ERA in the majors at 2.44. Reds closer Emilio Pagan has allowed no runs and one hit during his past seven appearances spanning seven innings. Cincinnati opened this series by beating Joe Ryan, 2-1, last night. That was the Reds' sixth win in eight road games this year. As well as Bradley has been pitching, he is a drop-down from Ryan. Take the Reds.

Cincinnati at Minnesota
8:10 PM Eastern
The Minnesota Twins and Cincinnati Reds have played the early part of the season like playoff contenders. They both enter this contest at 11-8. The Reds have gotten very solid pitching, and as a team, they have allowed just 77 runs on the season, or 4 a contest. The Reds have played their best baseball on the road, where they have started 5-2 on the season. The pitching has done a much better job on the road, where they are allowing just 3 runs per game, and 5 of the 7 opponents have scored 3 runs or fewer in their road tilts. Couple that with the fact that Cincinnati is 6-3 in their last 9 games vs. the AL Central, and I like Cincinnati in this one.
