What’s going on, everybody? We appreciate you for wrapping up your week with us.

This is Leading Off, and we’ve got a pair of Hard Rock Best Bets to target on Friday night’s MLB slate.

Joe Orrico’s Best Bet: Reds vs. Cardinals Over 8.5 Runs

I’m going with the over in Reds vs. Cardinals. Give me over 8.5 runs.

I’d see if you can find it listed at plus money, but I love this matchup either way. Rhett Lowder and Dustin May have both struggled badly of late, so 8.5 feels like a pretty low total.

I don’t even know if we’ll need to get to the bullpens for this one to cash. I think we’re going to see plenty of runs scored today.

KC Bubba’s Best Bet: Corbin Carroll Over 3 R+H+RBI (+120)

I’m going to keep riding the Corbin Carroll train with Carroll over 3 runs + hits + RBIs at +120.

He’s been doing it all lately. It’s either home runs or triples, and he’s constantly finding ways to fill up the box score.

Now he heads to Washington, a great ballpark to hit in, with Carson Palmquist opening before Zack Littell takes over. Littell ranks among the league leaders in home runs allowed, making this a great spot for Carroll to stay hot.

I love getting plus money on props like this, so that’s where I’m going today.
