Pirates right fielder Bryan De La Cruz had a game-high 3 hits in his team’s 7-0 victory over the Reds on Thursday. Hitting out of the #4 spot in the lineup, De La Cruz went 3 for 4 with 2 doubles, 3 RBIs, and a run scored. Across 524 plate appearances this year, De La Cruz is batting .244 with 18 homers, 58 RBIs, and a .681 OPS. Bryan De La Cruz is hitting .281 with a .724 OPS against left-handed pitching this season.

Reds vs. Pirates Betting Prediction

Cincinnati will send left-handed starter Andrew Abbott to the mound for this contest. He has extreme day-night splits. The Reds southpaw has been much better in night games than in day games this year. In 10 daytime starts this season, Abbott is 1-6 with a 4.47 ERA and an opponent’s batting average of .277. In 15 night starts this year, Andrew Abbott is 9-4 with a 3.26 ERA, and an opponent’s batting average of .217. Friday’s contest will be a night game, which should work in Cincinnati’s and Andrew Abbott’s favor. I like the Reds to win this game outright as money-line road underdogs on Friday night.
