Cincinnati Reds vs. Bryse Wilson (5.93 ERA), Pittsburgh Pirates

The Reds don't have the best offense in the world, but they should be able to put up a pretty decent number against Bryse Wilson and the slumping Pirates. Nothing about Pittsburgh is really appealing, especially their pitching, which has been disastrous. Wilson has a mass ive 7.50 ERA at home at PNC Park and a 1-2 record. The 24-year-old continues to struggle with having any sort of consistency on the mound, though he's been generally better since the start of July. Still, that shouldn't stop you from betting against him.

In his last start, he allowed four runs on six hits and two walks while striking out one in 5.1 innings, taking the loss versus the Giants. He has a 5.93 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 48:20 K-to-BB through 71.1 innings across 16 appearances (13 starts) this year. Wilson has been a mainstay on our list of Gas Cans this year, and it so far has proven to be pretty profitable betting against him.
