Cincinnati -1½ over Kansas City

6:40 PM EST. Michael Wacha (RHP - KC) looks decent on paper, but his underlying metrics are not that impressive, as his surface ERA of 3.50 is backed by an inflated xERA of 4.36. Wacha has posted 99 Ks with 55 BBs in 121 innings. In his last three starts (19 IP), Wacha has walked eight hitters, with at least two getting free passes in each of those turns.

Nick Lodolo (LHP - CIN) has been a solid producer since the All-Star break, posting an xERA of 3.35, which is much, much lower than his actual ERA of 5.57 over the past month. Further, three of his last five starts have produced a dominant outing. The Royals are just 24th in OBP and 18th in Slugging v LHP, so we are going to come right back on the Reds today, laying the run line (-1½).
