Cincinnati at Philadelphia

The Cincinnati Reds have not hit the ball very consistently this season, but have managed to put up back-to-back games of eight runs in each. The fact is that this is a team that has produced three or fewer runs 27 times on the season, and that is more their norm. Johnny Cueto is the talk of trade rumors and will continue to be as the Reds continue to struggle. Cueto had a tender elbow and missed a start so he may not be as sharp as he had been previously. Cueto dominated early in the season but pitched to a 1-2 record in May with a 4.45 ERA. Sean O'Sullivan made one start vs. the Reds last season, allowing just a single run in six innings of work. The Reds are now 0-6 in their last six to a total of 7 to 8.5, and 2-9 in their last 11 vs. a right-hander.  The Phillies have quietly gone 5-0 in their last five as a home dog. Play on Philadelphia.
