Nice call on the Reds today ...Phillies couldn't pull it out in extras. I was going to say that the Nationals haven't won a series in over 3 weeks before the game started, but I figured that it would end in disaster for sure.

Sorry for the late response. I have been busy this weekend. The Nationals didn't face Leake before and with how consistent he has been there was no reason to go against it. Leake is not perfect, but he now has 10 out 11 quality starts. He has thrown 7+ innings in 6 starts and has 8 starts with allowing 2 earned runs or less.

Congrats on choosing the right spot to tail.

How have you been doing so far this year in baseball?

No worries about jinxing anything. I don't believe any of that stuff. Glad you were on Cincinnati with me. I have done well. I started out betting the Reds each 1 unit, but now stagger their bets when I am on them. They have been great for me during the season.

Disappointed in the Phillies, but it happens. Same deal yesterday with the Yankees. Looks like I can only trust the Reds. Jonny Gomes has been a great bargain this year. He definitely has earned his salary for the year. Rolen has been unbelievable this year. He looks healthy and the production has been a bit of a surprise. No telling how long he will continue showing up.

[MexicanStallion]

Solid work again, MS. Riding that Reds wagon!

Thank you sir. The Reds have done me well especially playing them series.

nce goin

Thanks rochester. Looks like we were both burned by Philadelphia today.

“Johnny Cueto Will Out Pitch Barry Zito”

The Reds start an 11-day, 10 game homestand starting with the San Francisco Giants. Monday starts the first game of four between the ball clubs. The Reds ended last night on high note winning the series against the Washington Nationals after their 19th come from behind victory and 11th in their final at bats.

The Cincinnati Reds (33-24) and the St. Louis Cardinals (33-24) are tied for the Central Division lead. The Reds have regrouped after a small rut the past week. The Reds finished their road trip going 3-3 and now return home where they are 19-11 on the season.

Johnny Cueto takes the mound for Cincinnati Monday night. Cueto has had his ups and downs this season. He got rocked in his last outing giving up 8 runs in 5 innings against St. Louis. He got lazy on the mound and went with the motions of the game. When he gets hit, he tends to try and speed up the game and it throws everything off balance. Tonight will be a different story and he will be back in his May form. Dusty Baker and Bryan Price talked with him at the end of April about slowing down the game and relaxing. The results were great with him going 4-0 in 5 starts with 1.59 era. I can only assume Baker and Price have already had a word with Cueto, so a little kick in the butt should do the trick.

The Reds have hit lefties fairly well on the season. Johnny Gomes is the biggest threat hitting .346(18/52) with 3 home runs and driving in 14 runs. Orlando Cabrera, Brandon Phillips, and Drew Stubbs have been good against lefties as well. Cabrera is hitting .386(22/57) with an on base percentage of .453. Since Cabrera is now the everyday lead off hitter, Cabrera should get on base a few times against Zito. Phillips is hitting .305(18/59) while scoring 10 runs and driving in 5 runs. Phillips is 4 for 10 against Zito in his career. Stubbs had struggled in April and picked it up in May. He stayed consistent against lefties though. Stubbs is hitting .279(17/61) while scoring 11 runs and driving in 8 runs. As far as home runs are concerned, 4 of 6 have come against lefties. A fun fact about Johnny Cueto, is he is 3 for 4 against lefties. My prediction is he gets a base hit tonight against Zito.

Jay Bruce has struggled against hitting .234 with 19 strike outs in 64 at bats. In the past 7 days, Bruce is hitting .217(5/23) with one run batted in. Tonight would be a good night for Bruce to sit and to give Heisey a start. Ironically Heisey has struggled against lefties going 1/16(.063), but he has been used inconsistently. His last at bat was a pinch hit against Houston on May 29th and his last start was against Pittsburgh on May 25th. My bold prediction is Heisey contributes offensively today with Gomes leading the way. You never know with Dusty though.

Predictions: Reds win 5-3. Cueto goes 6+ innings allowing 2 runs. Gomes drives in 3 runs. Heisey has 2 hits. Johnny Cueto gets a base hit off Zito.

Johnny Cueto (5-1 4.09) vs. Barry Zito (6-2 2.78)
