Analysis
This is a play on the CINCINNATI REDS for our MLB Wednesday Afternoon Dominator. Following a sweep in Chicago against the White Sox, Cincinnati has dropped the first two games of this series and will be out to avoid the sweep before returning home. The offense has been held in check but it has been solid thus far as the Reds have averaged 5.5 rpg including 5.6 rpg on the road. Seattle has improved to 6-6 at home following a series loss against the Cubs here over the weekend. The Mariners had their best offensive showing of the season in the opener with nine runs but the bats have struggled as they are averaging just 3.4 rpg while hitting only .213 as a team. Andrew Abbott is off to a solid start with a 2.60 ERA and 1.04 WHIP through three starts, allowing no more than two runs in any of those outings. Since entering the rotation last June, he has a 3.69 ERA over 24 career starts. Bryce Miller has been even better with a 1.96 ERA in three starts and has not allowed an earned run in his last two outings. He has had nearly the same number of career starts as Abbott but the results have not been as good with a 4.03 over 28 outings. Here, we play on road underdogs with a winning percentage between .501 and .540 playing with double revenge playing a team with a winning percentage between .380 and .460. This situation is 53-31 (63.1 percent) since 1997. 10* (929) Cincinnati Reds
