The Cincinnati Reds were expecting to be in better shape at this point of the season, but their offense has betrayed them for much of the season. All you have to do is look at what Johnny Cueto is doing, and it shows the lack of support. Cueto owns a 4-4 record on the season, but has a stellar 1.83 ERA and has lost each of his last two games. The Reds offense is struggling to an even greater extent recently as they have produced four or fewer runs in 13 of their last 15 games. That has worsened to three runs or less in six of their last seven games. Arizona has been swinging the bats extremely well over their last five games where they have averaged six runs a game. They may not get there vs. Cueto, but they probably won't need to. The Reds are just 1-5 in his last six road starts, and 0-6 as a dog (line currently borderline). Arizona has bounced back well from a loss for a losing team, where they are 7-3 in their last 10. Make the play on Arizona.

1.5 units on Arizona +100 (moneyline) (risk 1.5 to return 2.99)
