SportsLine Predicts

SportsLine's model lists Detroit as -132 favorites, Cincinnati at +111, and an 8.5-run over/under for the April 24, 2026 game.
It projects an 8.8-run total with a 51% chance the over will hit after the over covered four of Detroit's and three of Cincinnati's last five games.
Projected 1.5+ total bases apply to Tigers' Dillon Dingler and Reds' Elly De La Cruz while the model earned a 35-29 profit on money-line picks last season.

Summary

Reds Shift Fireworks

The Reds moved a ten-minute fireworks display to about 10 p.m. during a rain delay, earlier than its planned post-game slot.
Broadcasters Jason Benetti, Johnny Kane and Bobby Scales said the fireworks were rushed because a Cincinnati ordinance limits how late they may be set off.
The tarp was rolled onto the field at 9:05 p.m., ending the 1-hour-49-minute interruption when play resumed at 10:54 p.m.
