On June 9, 2025, the Cincinnati Reds (33-33) are set to face the Cleveland Guardians (34-30) at Progressive Field. The Reds are fresh off a sweep against the Arizona Diamondbacks and are bringing the momentum into this matchup. Wade Miley, despite his current 18.00 ERA, has a chance to turn things around facing the Guardians’ Luis L. Ortiz, who boasts a solid 4.02 ERA. The Guardians narrowly avoided a sweep against the Astros last week, showcasing their resilience.

Key players like Jose Trevino and Christian Encarnacion-Strand are crucial for the Reds, while Cleveland’s Bo Naylor, who had an impressive 3-for-4 outing with a home run in his last game, will look to lead the Guardians. Recent trends highlight that the Guardians have been dominant against the Reds at home, winning their last three matchups. Betters should keep an eye on the total runs, with the last three road games for the Reds against the Guardians staying under the total.
