Cincinnati Reds vs Baltimore Orioles Prediction: Reds to avoid a sweep

Great American Ball Park will host the finale of a three game series between Cincinnati Reds and Baltimore Orioles. The Orioles picked up wins in the first two games. Can the Reds turn the tables?

Cincinnati Reds have a big job for them as they will look to overturn a poor run of performances in this finale. Prior to this series, the Cincinnati Reds took on the San Diego Padres in a three-game series, and despite winning the first game, they went on to lose the last two. However, while they have also lost the first two, this side will work hard to avoid a sweep. This season, Cincinnati Reds have a record of 16-17 and are seated 3rd in the National League Central Division.

Baltimore Orioles have been excellent this season, and this side keeps showing what they are up to. Before this series, the Baltimore Orioles played the New York Yankees, and they took a three-win in a four-game series. However, the Baltimore Orioles now eye a sweep in this game, following a 0-3 and a 1-2 win in the first two matches. This season, the Baltimore Orioles have an incredible record of 22-11, positioning them at the top of the American League and the American League East Division.

The Reds should salvage something here. It is clear that the Baltimore Orioles are way ahead, but the Cincinnati Reds have not been very bad and should get their chances here. This will be a close game regardless, following a few runs in their first two games. While the Baltimore Orioles have not scored many runs in the majority of their games, I think the Cincinnati Reds will have a lot to do in this one offensively and be able to win at the time.
