The Red Sox are favored with a moneyline of -118 against the Reds at -101. The Red Sox have a slightly better batting average and on-base percentage, which could give them an edge. My model projects a score of Red Sox 5, Reds 4. Based on this, I recommend picking the Red Sox to win straight up.
The current total is set at 10.0 runs. The Red Sox and Reds both have solid hitting stats, but their pitching ranks are average. My model’s projected total is 9 runs. Given this, I recommend taking the under for this game.

Abreu’s Historic Night Powers Red Sox Past Reds
It was a night for the history books at Fenway Park, and it was exactly what the Boston Red Sox needed. Wilyer Abreu delivered a once-in-a-generation performance to snap his team’s losing streak, and the Boston Red Sox will look to build on that momentum on Tuesday when they continue their three-game series against the visiting Cincinnati Reds.
A Night for the History Books
Wilyer Abreu did something on Monday that no Red Sox player had done since 1939: he hit both a grand slam and an inside-the-park home run in the same game. The incredible display of power and speed keyed a 13-6 victory that ended Boston’s frustrating eight-game slide. For Abreu, who now has 16 homers on the season, it’s the result of hard work and a better approach at the plate.
“He got a fastball he could handle… and that’s something we’ve been talking about with him,” Boston manager Alex Cora said. “There’s a lot of communication lately about who you are as a hitter and what (pitches) we need to attack.”
A Rude Awakening for the Rookie
While the Red Sox were celebrating, the Reds were left wondering what happened to their top prospect. Chase Burns, making his second career start, had a disastrous outing. The hard-throwing right-hander was shelled for seven runs (five earned) and failed to get out of the first inning. The Red Sox were so locked in on his pitches that his manager, David Bell, wondered if he might have been tipping them.
“Those are always things you try to check for,” Bell said. “Cora is one of the best at that. They were certainly ready.”
The Pitching Matchup
The Red Sox will look to make it two in a row as they send their own young right-hander, Richard Fitts (0-3, 4.68), to the mound. Fitts is coming off a solid outing where he allowed two runs in four innings against the Angels.
The Reds will counter with veteran Frankie Montas (7-6, 4.31). This matchup between two right-handers will be a key focus on the scores and odds board.
Building Momentum
After a much-needed win, the Red Sox are looking to prove it wasn’t a fluke. How a team responds after breaking a long losing streak is a key topic in our expert betting guide.
