Moscot’s last outing came on April 27 in which he went five innings against the Mets, giving up three runs (one earned) on four hits. He also issued four walks before leaving with a shoulder injury to his non-throwing shoulder. His defense committed three errors on the night.
OUR PICK: Moscot is scheduled to throw tonight despite suffering the injury in his last outing. Following their win on Monday night, the Giants are now 6-1 in their last six games in Cincinnati and are 6-1 in their last seven games versus the Reds overall. The Reds are 0-4 in Moscot’s last four starts and are 8-20 in their last 28 games versus a right-handed starter as well. They’re also just 18-39 in their last 57 games versus the National League West.
