St. Louis at Cincinnati

At this time last year Aaron Harang was looking toward a Cy Young award. Last year a poor Reds team was 24-10 when Harang took the ball. This year things have changed dramatically. Harang is currently just 4-13 and what makes it worse is that he has been pitching worse, as the season progresses noted by his 9.98 ERA over his last three starts. It has swelled his ERA to over the five mark and as a whole the Reds have gone home for the summer. They Dealt Adam Dunn and Ken Griffey Jr. leaving the middle of the lineup depleted and it has shown. The Reds have gone 4-16 over their last 20 games and looked horrible doing so. The Cards have had no trouble winning on the road where their 36-28 mark is by far tops in the National League and only second to the Angels in all of baseball. We are taking them here to make it back-to-back over the falling Reds.
