Both heavy favorites and I'm leaning on the Reds being a better option. I'm guessing no Berkman or Holilday for the Cards today due to last night's injuries.

+ McClellan's wife gave birth to a baby monday. Dunno where is his mind now: throwing balls or at the baby. Might not be a factor but I am not touching this game (and Rasmus, Berkman and Holiday are out probably). With only Pujols to make something, no thanks.Comment -
Reds lost last night. I would take them today. That how I would play it. But I"m looking for a better play on the board than the heavy favorite. Good luckComment -
I agree there are better favs on the board later on tonight. (Atl -110)
If you had to pick a day game fav....what would it be? I actually like the Angels a lot. I don't know why I overlooked them before I posted. Throw them into the mix as well. IMO they might be the best daygame favorite despite the losing streak they've been on.Comment -
@ rixsaw: congrats man!! Yeah, I read it on ESPN on McClellan's stats page. Maybe he will be ok, but no way i'm touchin the Cards w/o those absences and this baby thing.Comment -
