“Rangers vs. Reds: A High-Stakes Pitching Showdown That Could Define the Season!”

The Reds haven’t had quite as nice of a start to the season, but it is just one series so let’s see what will happen. They opened the year against the Giants, hosting them, and they dropped two of the three games. The Giants have a solid enough rotation, so it isn’t exactly shocking that they beat the Reds. The only win they got was against a future Hall-of-Famer, Justin Verlander. Nick Lodolo was on the opposite site and put together a strong quality start allowing just two runs in six innings. The Reds offense was decent, but they weren’t ridiculously good, scoring 10 total runs in the three games. They allowed 14 to the Giants, but their staff put up decent numbers, having a 0.93 WHIP. They only issued four walks in three games, but they had 25 strikeouts which means they are pitching to a lot of contact. Brady Singer is taking the hill to make his Reds debut. I’ve been a proponent of Singer in the right situations for a few years now. He threw to a 9-13 record with a 3.71 ERA and a 1.27 WHIP, which puts him in the top 50 of both stats from last season. He is an ideal second or third starter.
