The Washington Nationals will play the Cincinnati Reds in Game 2 of their series on Saturday afternoon at Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati, Ohio. Washington won the first Game in this series by a score of 6-3 in extra innings on Friday night and they have played better in recent Games. Cincinnati is on a small losing streak and their pitching staff has not been good recently. Can the Reds turn it around in Game 2?

Washington is coming off of a series win against the Brewers at home, where they won two out of three Games.

The Cincinnati Reds are 59-53 this season and they have lost four Games in a row. Cincinnati is coming off of a series loss to the Cubs, where they lost three out of four Games on the road. The Reds have allowed a total of 52 runs in their last five Games and they desperately need a good pitching performance today.

Pick

The Reds come into this Game on a losing streak, but they will have one of their best pitchers on the mound in this Game. Cincinnati is starting Andrew Abbott, who has allowed 4, 0, 0, 2, and 6 earned runs in his last five starts. Abbott has been very solid for the Reds this season and they are 3-0 in his last three starts. Washington is starting Joan Adon, who has allowed three earned runs in five innings of work this year. Despite Abbott allowing four earned runs last time out, I like him to bounce back here and I am taking the Reds -1.5 in this Game.

UFO Passes by at High Speed Upon Airplane Arrival at Porto Alegre Airport on November 13, 2022

Once again a UFO passes at high speed at the exact moment of the arrival of a Copa Airlines Boeing Plane at Salgado Filho International Airport in Porto Alegre RS Brazil on November 13, 2022 at 00:36:36 hrs. I was monitoring the cameras at Salgado Filho International Airport in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil when I came across this UFO passing by at very high speed right at the moment of the arrival of a Copa Airlines Boeing. Now, don’t let experts tell me that it is a reflection of satellites in low orbit, we all know that something strange is happening and pilots with flight experience report that they know how to differentiate a reflection from an unidentified flying object that, in addition to accompanying the aircraft during its course it makes 360 degree maneuvers. The satellites appear from 7:30 pm until about 9 pm, but they don’t make curves or change speed, they don’t brake or blink. In some cases it may even be, but in the vast majority of sightings

Final Fantasy 16 Trailer Has Fans Worried About Gap Squeeze Loading

The launch of Final Fantasy 16 is on the horizon and to keep the hype train rolling, Square Enix has been sharing clips from the Game over on Twitter. What Square probably wasn't expecting was for the clip, the focus of which should be Clive's adorable dog Torgal, to be torn apart because it shows the player squeezing through a gap to get to the next area. In case you weren't aware, because let's be honest it's a bizarre hill to die on, Game s using gaps to disguise loading screens is apparently a very big deal. If you've played God of War or Final Fantasy 7 Remake, you'll know all about the mechanic. However, it seems its use in Final Fantasy 16, a Game its creators have claimed is so advanced it can only run on PS5, has annoyed quite a few of you.
