REDS VS. PHILLIES DATE, TIME, AND WHERE TO WATCH

Cincinnati Reds vs. Philadelphia Phillies Prediction
The Reds won the first game of the series last night, winning 6-3 in extra innings. The Reds put up six runs on eight hits, while four of the runs came in the 10th inning. Last night, we took the Reds at plus money and they cashed for us. Abbott pitched 5.1 innings and the Reds used five different relievers in their win last night. As for tonight, the Reds have Graham Ashcraft on the mound. Ashcraft 4.81 ERA in his short career, and I expect the Phillies to take full advantage of this.
Tonight, I think the Phillies will get one back and take game two of this series. The Phillies are the better team in this matchup, and last night's score does not tell the whole story of that game. Spencer Turnbull is pitching tonight for the first time in a Phillies jersey. Turnbull had a disappointing season last year, but tonight I think he settles in and gets the Phillies back on track after starting their season slow.
This game will be a good one and may come down to the wire, but I think the Phillies take this one at Citizens Bank Park. I don't see the Phillies starting off 1-4, and I expect the crowd to get into it and lift this team to victory.
Take the Phillies ML tonight! Let's cash!
