Arizona at Cincinnati

The Cincinnati Reds opened the season with some lofty expectations, but they started slow, and never seemed to get on track. Right now their offense has betrayed them. Injuries are part of the problem, and at one game under .500 they are running out of time to find some answers. The Reds have lost 9 of 10 since the All-Star break, and have scored a woeful 17 runs in the 10 games at 1.7 per contest. The Reds' offensive woes will be greeted by an Arizona bullpen that has worked nearly 17 consecutive scoreless innings. The Reds have been pathetic vs. right-handed starters, as they have taken a major donut at 0-11 in their last 11 facing them. This dog has some bite, so make the play on Arizona.
