Hidden from view in the San Francisco Giants three game and three shutout sweep of the Dodgers is the fact that this team has a soft lineup, while the Reds can score. The Giants lost the last two in this series scoring just a total of two runs, marking the sixth time in their last 13 games they scored two or less. Bronson Arroyo carried a no-hitter into the eighth inning of his last start and is certainly capable of handling the Giant's weak lineup. Vogelsong has allowed four runs or less in every start this season, and the one time he allowed four runs it was vs. the Reds. The Reds have been lethal vs. teams over .600 where they are now 7-1 in their last right. Vogelsong has struggled to a 2-6 mark vs. the NL Central in his last eight and Brandon Phillips has been his nemesis at 7-12 against him. The Reds have taken seven of the last nine vs. the Giants and get the win here. Play on Cincinnati.
