San Diego just can't find their way and are winners in just three of their last 10, and sit at the bottom of the NL West with the worst record in baseball. The hitting has been awful as they bring a slumping team average of .237 into this one, and already the Padres pen has blown nine of 18 save opportunities. They are desperate and are trying Will Ledezma in a starting role. Ledezma has failed in his first two attempts lasting just four innings last time out with an ERA of over 10 against the Reds. Bronson Arroyo started horribly, but has settled down nicely and has allowed just four runs over his last three starts, good for a 1.80 ERA. We like the Reds here against a Padre team that finds ways to lose.
