Martin is on the OVER between Tampa Bay and Cincinnati because neither starter is in form and Great American Ball Park inflates offense. Shane Baz was torched for eight earned runs his last outing, and Brady Singer followed by allowing seven earned in just two innings. With daytime heat, a short porch in right, and a Rays lineup swinging the bats well, Martin believes both clubs can exploit shaky pitching and push the total past whatever number posts overnight.

Mark strongly leaned toward backing Cincinnati behind rookie southpaw Andrew Abbott, recommending either a first-five/first-seven wager or an Abbott-to-record-the-win prop. Abbott is 8-1 with a sparkling 2.13 ERA and has been a cash cow for Mark all season. Facing Ryan Pepiot and a Rays lineup that has cooled off, the ‑116 full-game moneyline felt short, but Mark prefers isolating Abbott’s innings before the volatile Reds bullpen enters. Any plus-money first-five price or an Abbott win ticket is where he intends to attack.

Cash Out Sports Picks made Cincinnati his best bet, highlighting Ryan Pepiot’s recent woes (13 hits, 8 ER in 12 innings; seven homers allowed over his last four) and Tampa’s 1-4 record in his recent turns. Meanwhile, Andrew Abbott is 8-1 with a 2.13 ERA, surrendering only 11 ER in 50 home frames. Combine Abbott’s dominance with the Reds’ .273 batting average and 14-hit outburst on Friday, and the tout is confidently on the Reds money line.

Brad Pick Dawgz made the Reds his favorite play because Tampa Bay has dropped five straight road contests, just lost a series to the White Sox, and fell in Game 1 of this set. Meanwhile, Cincinnati sends breakout rookie Andrew Abbott to the mound—Brad called the southpaw “incredible this season.” Given the Reds’ home form combined with Abbott’s edge over a struggling Rays squad, Brad expects Cincinnati to keep Tampa’s slide alive and cash the moneyline.

Cash Out Sports Picks backed Cincinnati on the moneyline largely because of Nick Martinez’s current groove and the overall trajectory of both clubs. Martinez has guided the Reds to wins in four of his last five outings, giving up only four total runs over his most recent 10 innings while flashing strong strike-to-walk numbers. Tampa arrives scuffling after dropping two of three to the league-worst White Sox and even demoting a starter to the minors. The Rays will still be without slugger Brandon Lowe, further shrinking their lineup’s punch. With Cincinnati coming in off a rest day and Martinez likely to work deep (management recently let Nick Lodolo throw a complete game), the tout projected the Reds to control the opener.
