The Reds roll into Phoenix’s air‑conditioned desert at 8:10 PM EDT, with MLB.TV, DBACKS.TV and Reds.TV ready to broadcast the showdown. Rhett Lowder (RHP, #25) will step onto the mound for a team that’s hit .225 all season—about as thirsty as a cactus in a drought—while Arizona’s Michael Soroka (RHP, #34) looks to keep his 2.93 ERA as polished as the stadium’s marble tiles.
Arizona’s 4.14 team ERA edges Cincinnati’s 4.51, and a .244 batting average gives the D‑backs a modest edge over the Reds’ .225, but the Reds are also nursing Michael Toglia (day‑to‑day) and Brandon Williamson (60‑day IL). The Diamondbacks enter as -182 favorites in a modest 8‑run total, with a Cincinnati moneyline of +169 for those who like rooting for the underdog. Pick your side and join the banter on StreakChat.
