MLB (957) CINCINNATI REDS (958) PITTSBURGH PIRATES
Take: (958) PITTSBURGH PIRATES -115
Alfrdedo Simon vs. Edinson Volquez tonight at PNC Park in Pittsburgh as the Reds and Pirates continue their three-game series. The Reds got the opener on Tuesday night, with the suddenly shaky Pitt bullpen again having problems down the stretch. That has to rate as a concern for me in breaking down tonight’s game, but I’m going to make a case for the Bucs getting the series even with a victory tonight.
Alfredo Simon has been a stunner this season. Simon basically landed in the Reds rotation only thanks to injuries, and the hope was that he could do enough to keep the Reds in games until he was eventually shuttled back to his typical bullpen role. The rest is now history, as they say. Simon is sitting at 9-3, with a sub-3 ERA and after getting what I’d term as lucky early on, most of his recent efforts have been legit.
Edinson Volquez was brought in to ostensibly fill the starting role vacated by AJ Burnett for the Pirates. This was a much maligned move over the winter. Burnett was off a very solid 2013 and Volquez was a guy who pretty much hadn’t been relevant since 2008 when he was a star on the rise for the Reds. It’s not like Volquez is pitching at an All-Star level for the Pirates this season, but he has certainly exceeded most projections, and I like the way he’s been throwing lately. The main obstacle for Volquez these last few years has been his rotten control and subsequent inability to maintain any reasonable pitch counts. The 2014 Volquez is limiting those free passes and in the process, he’s become a much more reliable commodity.
I can be a little stubborn at times, and I’m still of the belief there has to be a regression at some point for Simon. I can’t any longer attribute his success to simply good fortune, but I remain skeptical he can keep this up, as there’s nothing in his profile that says he should be doing this. As for Volquez, he’s not close to being the sure thing category. But you know he wants to pitch well against his former team. Plus, his last outing vs. the Reds was a really tough luck loss. Volquez matched Johnny Cueto in what was a scoreless duel for six innings before the Reds broke through with a pair of somewhat cheap doubles in the seventh en route to a 4-1 win.
The offenses here are close to a wash, although both the Reds and Pirates fortunes with the bat are looking up. Getting Joey Votto back is an obvious plus for Cincy and the arrival of rookie sensation Gregory Polanco has been huge for the Pirates. I have the bullpens close as well, although the Bucs have to be a little concerned with Jason Grilli’s recent inconsistency.
My bottom line here is the betting line. I made the Pirates -125 here and the number has come cheaper than that. Basically, I’m backing my price here and going for what looks like a reasonable value advantage. I’ll side with the Pirates to get the win tonight

Reason: Your free pick for Wednesday, June 18th, 2014, comes in baseball as Colorado and the Dodgers meet in Los Angeles. The over is 18-6-2 in the Dodgers last 26 home games.

Wednesday, June 18
Dodgers' SS Hanley Ramirez, questionable Wednesday
Ramirez left Tuesday's game after suffering a contusion on the ring finger of his right hand. He is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Rockies.
Braves' OF Justin Upton, questionable Wednesday
Upton left Tuesday's game because of dizziness. He is questionable for Wednesday against the Phillies.
Samardzija available for trade, despite Cubs’ offer
Despite making a final run at a contract extension with ace Jeff Samardzija, the Cubs continue to make it clear to teams looking for pitching that he is available in trade. Officials from four teams said this week the Cubs have told other teams that Samardzija and pitcher Jason Hammel are available, with two saying they’ve heard no indication the Cubs believe their recent contract proposal will be accepted by Samardzija.
What trend was hot on the diamond Tuesday night?
Underdogs had a solid showing against the runline in Major League baseball action Tuesday night. Dogs put up a 10-5 record against the runline last night, good for a success rate of almost 67 percent. Underdogs are still hitting at just over 60 percent for the season against the runline.
Cliff Lee throws off mound, eyes July return
Cliff Lee says he has made excellent strides in his recovery from an elbow strain over the last few days. The left-hander was able throw from a bullpen mound Tuesday for the first time since going on the disabled list and he was pleased with the results.
Lee will be evaluated Wednesday to see how he bounces back from Tuesday’s session. If all goes well, he will continue to throw bullpens in the coming days.
Lee is confident he could be back by the all-star break. General manager Ruben Amaro Jr. has indicated that Lee could be back around the Fourth of July.
Once he returns, Lee will help the Phillies try to get into contention in July while at the same time auditioning for clubs that may need a starter.
Pirates' Walker on pace to return soon
Neil Walker is itching to come off the disabled list.
The Pirates second baseman took batting practice Tuesday for the first time since undergoing an appendectomy June 9 and also fielding ground balls. Walker was given the go-ahead by doctors after being examined Tuesday morning.
"There is nothing that I could do -- swinging, torqueing, running -- that's going to bother it," Walker said.
Walker believes he will be ready to be activated June 24, the first day he is eligible. He had already been hitting the indoors cages and running before Tuesday's more strenuous workout.
Giants' Pagan remains out with back issue
Outfielder Angel Pagan remained sidelined with back stiffness as the San Francisco Giants opened a two-game inter-league series against the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday.
Pagan missed his third straight game and recovery is going slower than hoped, Giants manager Bruce Bochy said prior to the game at U.S. Cellular Field.
"Right now he's a day-to-day," Bochy said. "He's making a little progress but not as much as we'd have hoped."
The 32-year-old veteran was batting .307 through 63 games before sitting out the final two games of a series with Colorado.
Tigers plan to limit Verlander's innings
Justin Verlander's workload might be reduced for the time being, even if it temporarily strains his relationship with manager Brad Ausmus.
The Tigers' struggling ace has given up seven runs in each of his last two starts and at least five runs in six of his last seven outings. Ausmus plans to limit Verlander's innings in his upcoming starts, beginning with his outing in Cleveland on Saturday night.
Ausmus knows Verlander might not agree with those tactics. Ausmus has given Verlander a long leash despite the torrent of base hits -- 111 in 97 2/3 innings -- and runs that Verlander has allowed. His 97-pitch outing against Kansas City on Monday was the first time this season he didn't reach triple digits in pitches.
Wednesday, June 18
Dodgers' SS Hanley Ramirez, questionable Wednesday
Ramirez left Tuesday's game after suffering a contusion on the ring finger of his right hand. He is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Rockies.
Braves' OF Justin Upton, questionable Wednesday
Upton left Tuesday's game because of dizziness. He is questionable for Wednesday against the Phillies.
Samardzija available for trade, despite Cubs’ offer
Despite making a final run at a contract extension with ace Jeff Samardzija, the Cubs continue to make it clear to teams looking for pitching that he is available in trade. Officials from four teams said this week the Cubs have told other teams that Samardzija and pitcher Jason Hammel are available, with two saying they’ve heard no indication the Cubs believe their recent contract proposal will be accepted by Samardzija.
What trend was hot on the diamond Tuesday night?
Underdogs had a solid showing against the runline in Major League baseball action Tuesday night. Dogs put up a 10-5 record against the runline last night, good for a success rate of almost 67 percent. Underdogs are still hitting at just over 60 percent for the season against the runline.
Cliff Lee throws off mound, eyes July return
Cliff Lee says he has made excellent strides in his recovery from an elbow strain over the last few days. The left-hander was able throw from a bullpen mound Tuesday for the first time since going on the disabled list and he was pleased with the results.
Lee will be evaluated Wednesday to see how he bounces back from Tuesday’s session. If all goes well, he will continue to throw bullpens in the coming days.
Lee is confident he could be back by the all-star break. General manager Ruben Amaro Jr. has indicated that Lee could be back around the Fourth of July.
Once he returns, Lee will help the Phillies try to get into contention in July while at the same time auditioning for clubs that may need a starter.
Pirates' Walker on pace to return soon
Neil Walker is itching to come off the disabled list.
The Pirates second baseman took batting practice Tuesday for the first time since undergoing an appendectomy June 9 and also fielding ground balls. Walker was given the go-ahead by doctors after being examined Tuesday morning.
"There is nothing that I could do -- swinging, torqueing, running -- that's going to bother it," Walker said.
Walker believes he will be ready to be activated June 24, the first day he is eligible. He had already been hitting the indoors cages and running before Tuesday's more strenuous workout.
