It is the end of a four-game series as the Philadelphia Phillies face off with the Cincinnati Reds. It is time to continue our MLB odds series with a Phillies-Reds prediction, pick, and how-to-watch.

The Phillies took game one of the series, beating the Reds 7-0. It started with a Bryson Stott sacrifice fly in the second to give the Phillies the lead. Ranger Suarez went seven innings giving up just two hits, on the way to a Phillies win. Game two of the series went the other way though. The Phillies did have a 1-0 lead off an Alec Bohm single in the first, but Christian Encarnacion-Strand would tie the game in the bottom of the inning on a double. He would give the Reds the lead in the third, singling to left to score a run, and then scoring himself. He would score again on an Elly De La Cruz home run and the Reds would win 8-1.

Final Phillies-Reds Prediction & Pick

The Reds have scored more runs this year, but the Phillies are hitting better. Philly's pitching has been better overall, but Nick Martinez has been the better pitcher. The Phillies could find themselves down early in this game, with Wheeler on the mound. Still, this should be a tight game because Nick Martinez will not pitch deep into the game. The best play in this one will be on the total. Take the over.
