Hope you like Late Night Reds, buddy.
The first west coast road trip of the year has arrived. Are you excited? Probably not, the Cincinnati Reds have lost 8 games in a row, for fuck sake. Join us with ice cold millers tonight at 10:10 pm EST where the Cincinnati Reds face the San Francisco Giants.
Andrew Abbott LHP
Andrew Abbott has been the perfect example of why Pitcher’s wins & losses DO NOT MATTER. He’s 1-4 with a 3.32 ERA in 7 starts. His latest outing he got bit by the homer, giving up two solo homers in the Cincinnati Reds’ 2-1 loss to the Baltimore Orioles, but he struckout 8 and otherwise looked like the Abbott we love and know. San Francisco is a HUGE ballpark – he should fare well tonight against their lineup, however, they do hit a little better against LHPs average wise, and are middle of the pack offensively with a .670 team OPS.

Logan Webb RHP
There may not be one as consistent as Logan Webb – talking about a guy that knows his role & excels in it. He, once again, is pitching great, and naturally primarily at home, where the Reds are visiting today. His home/away splits are dramatic. 0.82 ERA at home, 5.92 ERA away. The Reds, who are already struggling offensively, will likely struggle even more. He’s not striking as many guys out this year as years prior, but still, at home, he’s holding opponents to .225/.244/.264/.506 – he’s yet to give up a HR at home. The Reds have a tough task ahead of em tonight.
