Julio Teheran was picked up by the Milwaukee Brewers a few weeks back and honestly I didn't even know he was still a professional baseball player.
But now here we are, two games into his stint with the Brew Crew, and he has been nothing but lights out. He has allowed eight hits, one walk, and only one earned run in 11 innings pitched through his first two starts.
Can he keep it up in his third start tonight when he and the Reds take on Andrew Abbott and the Reds?
Let's dive into the odds.
Brewers vs. Reds odds, run line, and total
Brewers vs. Reds prediction and pick
If you have read my betting previews for games involving the Brewers this season, then you know exactly what I'm going to say next. Fade the Milwaukee Brewers when they play against a left-handed starting pitcher.
Their OPS this season drops from .706 against right-handed pitchers to .629 against lefties, which is the worst mark in the Majors against left-handed pitchers. Their batting average is even more disgusting at just .210.
That information is important because the Reds are rolling with Andrew Abbott, who will be making his Major League debut. He has a 2.50 ERA in 10 starts across AAA and AA, so he should be well prepared to pitch tonight.
Also, let's not forget the Reds' offense has been piping hot lately. They're fifth in OPS over the last 14 days at .803.
Give me the Reds on the moneyline tonight.
