Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Cincinnati Reds: A Tale of Two Pitchers and a Home-Run Hope
Date: August 24, 2025 | Time: 8:11 PM ET | Location: Chase Field
The Verdict:
The Arizona Diamondbacks (-150) are the chalk here, and honestly, it’s not even close. Zac Gallen (5.50 ERA at home) is facing a Reds team that’s scored 3.8 runs per game in their last 10 road contests. Meanwhile, Cincinnati’s Brady Singer (4.18 ERA) is trying to outpitch a team that’s hit 19 home runs in their last 10 games. The Reds (+130) are a fun long shot if you’re feeling spicy, but let’s be real—this is a "buy low on Arizona" opportunity.
Key Stat:
- The Reds have not led through five innings in 13 of their last 15 road series finales. Brady Singer’s 4.18 ERA is better than Gallen’s 5.50, but Arizona’s bullpen (4.73 ERA) is a dumpster fire.
Prop Pick of the Night:
Elly De La Cruz O/U 2.5 Hits (-110)
Why? De La Cruz is hitting .312 with 14 HRs this season. At +280 for a home run, it’s a long shot, but if he gets multiple hits, this line pays off.
The Joke:
If Gallen makes it through six innings, consider it a miracle. If not, blame the Reds’ lineup for not capitalizing on a 5-run 4th inning. Either way, the total (9 runs, -110) is a toss-up—though with Arizona’s offense, "toss-up" might mean "up, up, and away."
Final Score Prediction: Arizona 5, Cincinnati 3.
Why? Because math. And also because the Reds’ bullpen is the reason your last date went sideways.
Place your bets, but don’t blame me when Gallen gives up a HR to De La Cruz. It’s a 600/1 prop for a reason. 🎲⚾
