Team Overview
Cincinnati Reds (44–53)

Pitching Matchup Breakdown
Cincinnati — Hunter Greene (RHP)
ERA: 3.65

Last 5 Starts: 2–2, 3.40 ERA
Splits:
Road ERA: 3.90
Vs. RHB: .228 avg allowed
Vs. LHB: .244 avg allowed
Profile: Greene’s elite velocity plays well anywhere, but Coors Field reduces his slider movement. Strikeouts will be key. If he keeps the ball down, he can survive; elevated fastballs will be punished.

K/BB: 2.6
Last 5 Starts: 1–3, 5.20 ERA
Splits:

Profile: Feltner has a lively fastball but inconsistent command. His fly‑ball tendencies are dangerous at Coors Field, especially with wind blowing out. Reds’ right‑handed bats match up well.
