MLB 2%

PHI -114

The Reds & Phillies come into today as 2 of the better performing lineups within the MLB, but the big difference in the two is that the Reds depend on the big hits to score runs. They are averaging just under 30 at bats per home run they hit but are also doing so by grounding out at the 4th highest rate in the MLB. Today they face a ground ball pitcher who not only throws to weak contact but does produce a high percentage of swing and misses which is also an issue with the Reds lineup. 

Hunter Greene takes the mound for the Reds and while he does have electric stuff, he falls victim to missing his spots and giving up hard hit balls. The Phillies also leave the yard at an impressive rate of just under 28 at bats per home run but are also doing so while hitting at a team average 20 points higher than the Reds (.247).
