The Cincinnati reds are not sneaking up on anyone this season and stand at a respectable four games over .500 on the season. Edinson Volquez continues to be a mystery as he has Plus stuff, but the results have been poor. He stands in at 1-3 on the season with an inflated 5.63 ERA. His problem is command, having already walking 28 in 38 innings. Houston has their best option on the mound in Wandy Rodriguez. He has been great at home with two of his three home starts allowing a total of a single run. The Reds have been 3-10 in their last 13 facing an opponent who allowed five or more runs in their last game, and Rodriguez has delivered for the Astros at home vs. a winning team, winning four of his last five. I like Houston in this one.
