  June 17, 2024 Predictions: Cincinnati Reds at Pittsburgh Pirates Prediction: Reds +1.5 Reasoning: The Reds are expected to keep the game close due to their strong bullpen and the free-swinging nature of the Pirates. Paul Skenes will pitch for the Pirates and is anticipated to have a strong performance, but the Reds' bullpen, which is top-10 in the league, can capitalize late in the game.

The combination of these pitchers' performances and the recent offensive struggles of both teams suggests a low-scoring game. St. Louis Cardinals a...
