Houston (Arrighetti) vs Cincinnati (Burns) Under 8' (1x)
-The Reds have lost 8-straight and have fallen into last place in the NL Central. Today they face the Houston Astros who have been playing better ball as of late, going 5-5 their last 10. Astros starter Spencer Arrighetti is 4-0 in 4 starts in 2026 with an ERA of 1.96. Meanwhile, Reds starter Chase Burns stands at 3-1 with and ERA of 2.20. The Reds were shutout yesterday by Mike Burrows. I just don't see where the runs are going to come from in this game and the number is about a run too high............
