Reds vs. Diamondbacks, Game 1 Preview and Predictions Thread

Cincinnati Reds @ Arizona Diamondbacks

The Reds travel to the desert. Raise hell, Raisel!

Iggy Raiselia gets the ball for the first game of the series, after his second win of the season in his last start. He's had a couple of quality starts in a row, but has yet to face this Diamondbacks lineup.

They'll face Chase Anderson, who they faced once last year to the tune of 7 innings and only 1 run given up. Welp.

Go Reds!
