Brewers over Reds -153
Milwaukee is third in the Majors with 364 runs scored against righties, hitting .266 against them with a whopping 96 home runs. The power in the lineup has been a huge reason the team has stayed within striking distance of .500 and is 7-3 in its past 10 overall.
Edinson Volquez.
The Red’s power pitcher was on the disabled list for most of the season before making his debut two weeks ago. In two starts he is 1-1 with a putrid 7.56 ERA and a 1.68 WHIP. Oh, and he’s right-handed.
Volquez’s only start in Miller Park last year also was a disaster. In just five innings he gave up six earned runs on seven hits, including two home runs with four walks against four strikeouts. Against the Brewers, he has a lifetime 6.35ERA
Gallardo has a 2.45ERA in 2010 and has quality starts in 6 out of his last 8 qualified appearances. He has a 2.94FIP (6th best in MLB) and 3.49xFIP (12th best in MLB) this season.and 3.49xFIP (12th best in MLB) this season. Against a lineup with significant power like the Reds have, Gallardo brings a 0.46 HR/9IP rate to the hill. That's the 5th best mark in MLB. The Reds boast a right-handed heavy lineup but Gallardo is holding righties to an anemic .188BA in '10, and Joey Votto, a lefty who is Cincinnati's most dangerous hitter is just 2-for-9 (.222) career v the Brewers ace. Gallardo also brings a 9th legitimate bat to any ballgame that he starts.
Brewers have won 7 straight at home
Reds have lost 6 out of 8 on the road.
Love the line movement on this. started around -130 and now has climbed the most I have seen to -155..
Let's get this..
