The read

Alright, kid, here's the deal. The Reds have a clear advantage on the mound with Andrew Abbott (ERA: 2.13, WHIP: 1.09), who's been stingier than a miser on Christmas Eve. His strikeout ability (88 SO) should give a Tampa Bay lineup that isn't exactly intimidating fits.

The Reds also have more pop in their bats, led by Elly De La Cruz (.283 AVG, 18 HR) and Austin Hays (.286 AVG, 10 HR). Tampa Bay's top hitters, like Chandler Simpson (.308 AVG, 0 HR) and Jake Mangum (.299 AVG, 2 HR), just don't pack the same punch. My money's on the Reds to get the job done at home.

You got the guts to ride with me on this one?
