The Cincinnati Reds can make history on Tuesday when they put their nine-game winning streak on the line against the Colorado Rockies at Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati. With a victory on Tuesday, the Reds would match the longest win streak since 1900 by a team to lose 100-plus games in the previous season. (Cleveland did it in 1986, and the 2003 Brewers and 2022 Orioles also pulled it off.) Cincinnati is a -190 favorite in the latest MLB odds from Caesars Sportsbook, while Colorado is a +158 underdog. The over/under for runs scored is 10.

The game is one of 15 on the MLB schedule for Tuesday. Elsewhere in the majors, future Hall of Famer Justin Verlander faces his former team, the Houston Astros, for the first time since leaving the franchise as a free agent in the offseason, and the top two teams in the American League East -- the Rays and Orioles -- start a two-game series in Tampa.
