Left-hander Madison Bumgarner (2-4, 3.31) is scheduled to start for the Diamondbacks against rookie Hunter Greene (2-7, 6.19). Both will be pitching on four days of rest.

Bumgarner vs Greene

Bumgarner has struggled lately, going 0-3 with a 5.25 ERA in his last four starts. He had a no-decision last Wednesday against the Atlanta Braves at home despite allowing two runs in six innings with seven hits, six strikeouts and two walks.

The Reds have given Bumgarner problems over the years as has a 3-6 career record against them with a 4.50 ERA in 11 starts. He is 2-2 with a 4.68 ERA in four starts at Great American Ball Park.

Maybe he needs to use the sticky stuff in Cincy.

Bumgarner has a 1-2 record and a 3.52 ERA in five road starts this season. He is 2-2 with a 3.86 ERA in four night starts.

The Reds’ Joey Votto is 9 for 23 (.391) with a home run off Bumgarner but Tommy Pham is 1 for 17 (.053).

Greene, who has +4000 NL Rookie of the Year odds, had another rough outing his last time out last Wednesday, losing to the Red Sox in Boston. He lasted just 3.2 innings and gave up four runs on six hits while striking out eight and walking none.

Diamondbacks vs Reds Betting Outlook

The Diamondbacks were shut out on five hits in Sunday’s loss to the Pirates. They have scored only one run in their last 20 innings.

Ketel Marte’s 16-game hitting streak ended as he went 0 for 4.

The Reds’ one-run loss to the Nationals on Sunday ended in abrupt fashion when Nick Senzel was picked off first base by catcher Keibert Ruiz. Shortstop Kyle Farmer and right fielder Aristides Aquino made key errors for Cincinnati.

The Reds placed reliever Vladimir Gutierrez (right forearm soreness) prior to Sunday’s game.

This is first meeting of 2022 between the teams after the Diamondbacks won five of six games last season, including sweeping a three-game series in Cincinnati. Arizona left fielder David Peralta went 9 for 21 (.429) with one double, one triple, two home runs and 12 RBIs.

Diamondbacks vs Reds Prediction

Neither starting pitcher comes into this game with much momentum. The lean goes to the experienced Bumgarner as a slight underdog over the hard-throwing Greene, who is quite talented but a work in progress.

Pick: Diamondbacks ML (+105)
