The Reds are playing like a team that wants to reach the postseason right now, and the Indians are playing like a team that is looking towards 2022. Cincinnati has won nine of their last 11 games, with each of those recent wins coming by at least three runs or more. The Indians, on the other side, have lost four of their last five and were held to two runs or less in three of their last five games.

Luis Castillo started off the season horrible for Cincinnati but in his last eight starts since June 26th, Castillo is 4-0 with a 1.97 ERA. The Reds also get an extra hitter with the DH in the AL Ballpark.
The Indians will be starting J.C Meija, who is 0-5 with a 12.54 ERA in his last six starts. Take the red hot Reds to get the win on Monday.
