Sunday’s Reds-Pirates finale at PNC Park shapes up as more than a division tilt. Cincinnati, chasing a playoff berth, sends Zack Littell back to the mound for the second time since the deadline deal, while Pittsburgh counters with Mike Burrows. The Reds’ run to stay in the hunt clashes with the Pirates’ bid to play spoiler, setting the stage for a tense afternoon.

Bookmakers show Cincinnati as slight underdogs but with more at stake, including a -1.5 run line that carries a tempting payout. A notable long-shot prop is Bryan Reynolds to homer at +600, riding a hot stretch and facing Littell, who has surrendered a high volume of homers this season. For fantasy players, Littell’s strong debut by seven innings, one run allowed, signals upside but his homer-prone history remains a concern, while Burrows has struggled in recent starts and Pittsburgh’s lineup has been slow to produce runs. Reynolds’ form and the Reds’ urgency combine for a compelling, contrarian DFS angle as the day unfolds.
