Reds vs. Nationals: Public Bettors Backing Cincinnati
As of this writing, our MLB Public Betting Page shows that 63% of bets are on the Reds’ moneyline. That said, this page is updated frequently so make sure that you click on the link provided so that you’re getting the most updated information.
Reds to start Montas in opener
The Reds will start Frankie Montas, Nick Lodolo, and Andrew Abbott in this weekend’s series against the Nationals. Hunter Greene had been on track to start on Friday based on his turn in the rotation prior to the All-Star break, but he will now be bumped back to next week’s series against the Braves. Obviously, Greene losing a start against the Nationals and gaining one against the Braves is not ideal for his fantasy managers.
Corbin to start for Nats, not Gore
Patrick Corbin will start for the Nationals on Friday against the Reds instead of MacKenzie Gore. Gore will now have his start pushed back to Saturday with Jake Irvin going on Sunday, which means Mitchell Parker will be bumped into next week’s series against the Padres
