They are led by LF Jarren Duran (56.0 WAR), 3B Rafael Devers (4.0 WAR) and LF Tyler O’ Neill (2.1 WAR). Houck will pitch for the guests tomorrow. In his last start, he conceded four runs (three earned) on five hits and four walks in a six-inning loss to the New York Yankees. Houck is 4-2 with a 2.38 ERA and 1.09 WHIP in nine road starts.

MLB EXPERT PICKS: San Francisco Giants VS Cincinnati Reds betting Predictions

Two classic NL teams San Francisco Giants and Cincinnati Reds will clash at the Great American Ball Park tonight. Watch Giants VS Reds for a thrilling action. Find the MLB best bets today, predictions, picks, and odds for Giants VS Reds on MatchPlug. We are a Sure Prediction Site to get accurate previews on MLB matches. Predictions And Betting Preview For San Francisco Giants VS Cincinnati Reds  Venue: Great American Ballpark, Cincinnati, Ohio. When: Sunday, August 4th, 2024. Time: 00:15. Teams to play: Giants and Reds. MLB Expert Picks: MONEYLINE 1.729. Odds by 1XBet. Betting On The San Francisco Giants 1XBet Spread: -1.5 1XBet Moneyline: 1.729. 1XBet Over/Under: Over 8.5 The San Francisco Giants had a quiet deadline, as trading Jorge Soler was their greatest Trade Deadline move. It seems as if the Giants want to maintain a shot at a playoff spot in October. Winning five of their last six matches have helped this cause. Lefty Blake Snell will get tonight’s start in a bit to keep San Francisco’s momentum alive. Offensively, the Giants have been a worse team on the road all season long, as their OPS drops to .695. This is bad news for a league-average lineup scoring 4.36 runs per game (15th). A lineup that is 24th in home runs sold one of its greatest power threats. Betting On The Cincinnati Reds 1XBet Spread: +1.5 1XBet Moneyline: 2.184 1XBet Over/Under: Under 8.5 The Cincinnati Reds had a weird MLB Trade Deadline too, sending pitchers Frankie Montas and Lucas Sims to other clubs. It was not a trade, but they also signed former Seattle Mariner Ty France. The Reds want to balance the present with the future. The starting pitcher for today, should be a significant piece for both timelines. At the plate, Cincinnati is 14th in scoring, averaging 4.43 runs per contest. They’re most remarkable leading the MLB in stolen bases with 156, led by ELly De La Cruz. The Reds are 17th in slugging percentage thanks to 119 homers (16th) and 22 triples (6th). Still, this lineup is 23rd in OBP, 26th in strikeout percentage, 28th in batting average.  MatchPlug Prediction For San Francisco Giants VS Cincinnati Reds  Offensively, the San Francisco Giants and Cincinnati Reds are the same, although the home/road splits favor the Reds. Hunter Greene has been just as strong as Blake Snell lately. The difference, which will determine the game, is that the Reds can trust their relievers. The Giants on the other hand will likely blow the match. Take Cincinnati to win at home.  Prediction: Cincinnati Reds Moneyline.

carlo ancelotti singels out guler in ac milan defeat

Carlo Ancelotti singles out Guler in AC Milan defeat

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti said he was happy after the team’s preseason friendly defeat of AC Milan.  Madrid lost 1-0 in Chicago with Samuel Chukwueze the matchwinner for Milan. Carlo said, “We fought and did good things. It’s the first match of the pre-season, there are a lot of young people. The important thing was to compete and we did it throughout the match. “The evaluation is positive. It’s a great chance for young players to play this type of match. In the first half, with more seniors like Rudiger and Modric, we did better, but at the moment these players cannot play more than 45 minutes. “Now let’s get ready for the next game. Tomorrow Vinicius and Militao return and today Rodrygo returns. Let’s see if they can play a part of the match. Those who started on the 15th, like Lucas, Fran, Brahim or Ceballos, are already showing good condition. “Palacios’ change? He has a knee problem and is not well. We have to evaluate him tomorrow and it’s a shame that a young player was injured in the first pre-season match. I hope it’s nothing serious. Brahim? He played well. We made good plays offensively. Arda is also in good shape. “The objective until the 7th is to try to have the players who have already started in the best possible physical condition. At the moment we only do tactical work for the young people, but when they return we will try to work for everyone too. There aren’t many things to do because the team is more or less the same as last year. The strategies are quite clear. We have to adapt to new things, but we will do it little by little. We can’t adapt Mbappé or Endrick in five days.”

Setback with Yoro forces Manchester United to go for De Ligt

miami begin leagues cup title

Inter Miami begin Leagues Cup title defense: “Our obligation is to work”

Inter Miami got their Leagues Cup title defense off to a quick start on Saturday night, thanks to a 2-0 victory over Club Puebla at Chase Stadium. Although the result was the same; a victory over a LIGA MX opponent, it was in contrast to Miami’s first Leagues Cup match a year ago. On that day, Lionel Messi made his debut and scored a dramatic free-kick winner against Cruz Azul. Messi finished as the leading scorer for the tournament, leading Miami to the title through a penalty-kick shootout over Nashville SC. It was their first trophy. This year, Messi observed from the sidelines while nursing an ankle injury he suffered in the Copa América final. The setback could keep him absent for most, if not all, of Inter Miami’s Leagues Cup run. However, Messi enjoyed another spectacular performance from a team that keeps winning without the best player in the world. “We have the obligation of fighting for both tournaments [MLS Cup and Leagues Cup],” head coach Tata Martino said in Spanish after the match. “But that’s not because we won Leagues Cup last season, but because these tournaments are not played at the same time. … There’s no need for us to choose between one or the other.” Inter Miami competed in the Leagues Cup as leaders for the Supporters’ Shield race, five points ahead of FC Cincinnati. With impressive depth, they push for silverware in multiple competitions.  Matias Rojas helped Miami begin their feat with a powerful left-footed strike against Puebla. Before Luis Suárez capped them by tapping in a wonderful service from former Barcelona teammate Jodi Alba. Julian Gresse delivered a sublime pass opening the sequence on the latter goal. “We are a team that goes out to the pitch and establishes things during the first minutes of the game, that’s important to start winning,” Suárez told reporters after the match. “Puebla found themselves in a difficult situation, being down on the scoreboard. And we could finish it during the second half.” In the match with Club Puebla, David Martinez made his debut at center back after joining Inter Miami on loan from Argentine giant River Plate. While goalkeeper CJ dos Santos made two saves to earn Miami its clean sheet, with Santos substituting for Drake Callender. “We have two very good goalkeepers and this was a very good opportunity to give CJ a chance,” Martino said. “Now, our point of view of this tournament is different from the point of view we had a year ago. A year ago we were amongst the last in the league, but now we are in first place. We don’t find the need to take further precautions. We played a week ago, and we’ll play again in a week’s time. This is a very demanding tournament that wears off players a lot.” Inter Miami will face Tigers UNAL next on August 3rd, as they play for a spot in the knockout stage. The match will hold at NRG Stadium in Houston (8 pm ET | MLS Season Pass). “Inter have already won this, they have the experience,” Suárez said. “This is a matter of fighting until the end. Some like this, some may not, but we need to get used to it. Our obligation is to work.”
