Reds To Challenge Shane Bieber's Hot Start Tuesday
4 years agoCleveland Indians starting pitcher Shane Bieber is off to one of the hottest starts in the league's history with 27 punchouts in his first two games. The Reds offense will prove a more difficult task on Tuesday since they own a top-five OPS (.806) and wRC+ (123) versus right-handers while holding the fifth-lowest K-rate in the majors (20.1% K%). Something has got to give in this contest, but with Bieber allowing a whopping 1.30 HR/9 in 2019, and the game being played in the hitter-friendly confines of Great American Ballpark, we can't rule out a potential slugfest.
