TOTAL SPECIAL (HOUSE MONEY MLB YTD!)
(MLB) Cincinnati vs. Washington, 08/26/2022 7:05 PM, Score: 7 - 3
Total: 8.50 | -113.00 Over
Result: Win
This is an 8* TOTAL SPECIAL on the OVER Reds/Nationals.

Both teams have been playing to several lower-scoring games of late, but we're expecting those trends to end this evening.

The Reds enter off four straight losses, including a 4-0 setback at Philly in their most recent matchup. That's significant to note here in our case though as Cincinnati has seen the total go OVER the number in eight of its last 12 after a shutout road loss, and in seven of its last ten after three or more straight losses in a row.

The Nationals broke a three-game slide with a 3-1 win in their most recent action, but they also enter having seen the total go UNDER the number in four straight.

Neither starting pitcher instills a lot of confidence. The Reds hand the ball to Mike Minor, who is 2-10 with a 6.44 ERA, while the home side counters with Cade Cavalli, who makes his major league debut this evening.

Look for these two starters to be chased by the mid-innings and then look for this total to fly OVER the posted number as the game comes down the stretch.

Good luck, NP
