Diamondbacks vs Reds Betting Outlook

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.

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)
