Why Juan Soto's 1.5-total-bases line fits Reds-Mets
The Reds are 33-37 through 70 games, with a 4.68 ERA, 1.46 WHIP, and 651 strikeouts against a .229 average and .705 OPS at the plate. That does not make Cincinnati an automatic side play, but it does create a clear matchup target: Juan Soto over 1.5 total bases (+115) against a staff that has allowed too much traffic. The Reds moneyline (-141) is only a price-sensitive secondary look.
