Here (just posted most of this somewhere else):
Willis is pitching well, apparently: 5k, 1bb, 4 hits and 2 er's over 4.2 rain-delayed innings against PIT last time out, about the same against MIL in his previous start with more bb's. Seems to have taken care of that, though. Very high g/f ratio. ATL is hitting .206 vs L's last 10. Bruce was ? but is in the lineup. Renteria will be in at ss for CIN (.385 last 4 games/14 pa's; .280 career vs. R's).
Beachy's last start may have been an anomaly, but it doesn't seem like a good spot to hope so. CIN needs wins just as bad as ATL, and this may as well be a divisional game, as these teams may be battling for a wild card spot. Also, home team is an astounding 10-3 with this ump! He posts a run avg. of 7.46 and a 65% strike rate. Willis should be better able to exploit this as he is displaying better control, atm, than (unbelievable as it may be) Beachy, although it will obviously make it a little easier on him, as well.
Take CIN. GL.
