Game outlook

The New York Mets and Cincinnati Reds will conclude their three-game series with a Sunday matinee game. After a late rally led to a 9-6 victory for the Reds on Saturday, the Mets (2-6) will look to bounce back with left-handed pitcher Sean Manaea (0-0, 0.00 ERA) on the mound. The Reds (5-3) will counter with lefty Andrew Abbott (0-0, 3.38 ERA). The first pitch at Great American Ball Park is set for 1:40 PM EST. The Reds are favored to win, with the current line at Cincinnati -114.

Betting Odds

Moneyline: Mets -102 | Reds -114

Spread: Mets +1.5 (-195) | Reds -1.5 (+170)

Total: Over/Under 9 (-110)

Based on the moneyline, the implied probability that Cincinnati will win straight-up is 53%.

New York Mets

The New York Mets were poised to win their third straight game, leading by three runs in the sixth and one run in the eighth, but their bullpen faltered, allowing seven earned runs in the Reds' final three at-bats. Despite this setback, the Mets pitching staff still leads the NL with a 2.92 team ERA and a 1.32 WHIP. Manaea will make his second start for the Mets after an impressive debut. New York's offense had a decent showing on Saturday, but they still rank last in the National League in runs scored and have hit the second-fewest home runs. Brett Baty has been a standout performer at the plate. With a power ranking of 18, the Mets are struggling offensively, ranking 29th in the league, but are performing solidly in defense, allowing an average of 4.00 points per game. They currently hold a 2-6 record for the season. If you are looking to bet on sports, make sure to research the top sportsbooks for the best betting promos.
