- When: Monday, May 1, 2023, 9:10 PM E.T.

After a forgettable first month, the Cincinnati Reds have managed to improve their record a bit in recent weeks. Although they lost their last game against the Oakland Athletics over the weekend, they had previously won five games in a row.
Offensively, the Reds have done well, averaging 4.63 runs per game and boasting a collective AVG of .246. However, their pitchers have not been able to take advantage of that performance, coming into this game with an average of 5.12 runs allowed per game and allowing their opponents to hit .275 (the second-highest average in the league).
Luke Weaver will try to step up for the visiting pitching staff, but he has had a pretty poor performance in his two starts this year, allowing ten runs in 11.2 innings of work.
Starting pitcher: Luke Weaver (0-1, 7.71 ERA).
Betting on the San Diego Padres
- Regular Season Record: 15-14
- DraftKings Moneyline: -210
- DraftKings Run Line: -1.5, -110
- DraftKings Over/Under: 8.5
On the other hand, the arrival of Fernando Tatís Jr. seems to have given the Padres what they needed to start turning things around. The team will begin this week with a record above .500 after winning the two games they played over the weekend against the San Francisco Giantsin a special series held in Mexico. The 24-year-old extended his hitting streak to eight games in a row during the series..
Tatís Jr.’s positive streak, combined with the great moment Xander Bogaerts and Nelson Cruz are having, has helped improve the offensive numbers of the Padres, who now average 4.18 runs per game. However, they still have many things to improve on the mound, as they have a collective ERA of 4.65.
One of the pitchers expected to lead the change for the Padres is Blake Snell, who has allowed three runs or less in his last three starts. However, he has had control issues, walking a total of 13 batters in the process.
Starting pitcher: Blake Snell (0-4, 5.48 ERA).
JefeBet Prediction
Despite their loss yesterday, the Reds are in good shape, especially on offense. They should be able to take advantage of the opportunities that Snell, who currently has a WHIP of 1.87, tends to give.
However, the same could be said for the Padres, who will return home with high morale after scoring 22 runs in their last two games. They have the opportunity to continue this momentum against Weaver, who has performed terribly this season.
In this game, we expect the offenses to take center stage and give headaches to these unreliable starting pitchers. We predict a high-scoring game with plenty of runs.
Prediction: San Diego Padres Moneyline and Over (CIN 6-8 SD).
