3-Units (6:10 P.M. CST)
It seems as if the odds makers haven't figured out that this is not the same Reds team that we have seen over the past few years. This Reds team has a solid group of pitchers to go along with a better than average offense. No, the Reds offense isn't as good as the Cardinals, but they have been getting the job done recently. In fact, their hitting .293 vs righties over their last 10 games as compared a Cardinals team that is hitting .242 over their last 10 vs rights. The Reds also have a solid pitcher going tonight in Aaron Harang. Harang has allowed 2 or less run in 4 of his 6 starts this year, and has been solid at home holding teams to a .225 BAA in his home starts. He will be opposed by Kyle Lohse of the Cardinals. Lohse is coming off of his worst performance of the season, allowing 6 earned runs in only 4 innings of work against the Phillies on Monday. Prior to that start Loshe had allowed a total of 7 earned runs over his previous 5 starts. The question is, which Loshse shows up on Saturday? We hope it's the same one that showed up vs the Phillies. Cincinnati has won two in a row, even though they have been dealing with the flu bug as a team. Brandon Phillips will be back tonight to help get the offense going. St. Louis has struggled at Great American Park, going 1-4 over their last 5. Were getting the Red Hot Reds at a very good price with a very decent pitcher on the mound in Harang. Let's see if they can make it 3 wins in a row.
