Reds vs. Athletics, Game 1: Preview/Predictions Thread

The Reds' best pitcher in 2015 makes his 2016 debut today.

Anthony DeSclafani was set to be the Reds' Opening Day starter this year, but an injury derailed him and he's been on the shelf since the season began. He's made a handful of rehab starts in Louisville, with a 5.54 ERA in 3 games there.

He'll face Sonny Gray and the A's, who are in town for a weekend series. Gray's struggled so far this year to the tune of a 5.77 ERA, but his struggles have mostly been centered in early May and he only gave up 1 run in his last start.
