The Reds off to a horrible start have all of a sudden won 5 games in the last week and you can pretty much expect that April will most likely be their worst month of the long season. This their 6th game against the Pirates, four of those five have been high scoring games. We do see a relatively low number here of 8 for the total indicative of Castillo’s two starts last year vs the Pirates where he went 7 innings and 5.1 innings giving up 0 and 1 earned run in those two starts. Thompson did face the Reds twice last year while in Miami, losing both starts giving up 2 and 3 earned runs in those games, going 5 innings in both. While my pick is the over 8 here, you may be able to get a better number if your able to get in around the time the managers are going to the bullpen here on live bet.
