Reds vs. Padres Prediction, Winner Payout, Over/Under – Wednesday, June 10

The Padres are gearing up for a potential pitching advantage today, putting SP Michael King on the bump. He carries a 4-5 record, 3.41 ERA, 4.24 xERA, and a 4.04 xFIP, per FanGraphs.

Negative regression has hit for King recently, permitting 13 earned runs and a 7.47 ERA over his last three starts. 

Reds SP Brady Singer is in the same boat by allowing at least 3 earned runs in five of his past six starts, good for a 6.92 ERA in that split. That’s increased Singer’s season-long numbers to a 5.89 ERA, 6.27 xERA, and 4.67 xFIP. 

Each starter points to plenty of runs for Wednesday, but both clubs’ batting orders have struggled of late. Cincy has missed SS Elly De La Cruz (hamstring) in the lineup, posting 3.4 runs per game over the last 10 games. That’s still a touch ahead of the Padres’ 2.9 runs per contest in the split. 

Will either team snap out of a slump in Wednesday’s rubber match?

Reds 1B Sal Stewart vs. Padres: 5.5 Hitter Fantasy Score

• The first baseman’s 42.6% hard-hit rate sits above the 33.5% league average, aiding a .483 xSLG (80th percentile).
• King hasn’t performed well against sluggers recently, and Stewart is one way to get exposure to those struggles.
