At the time of this writing, the following Match Odds/Moneyline were available: Cincinnati Reds (2.04, +104) and Philadelphia Phillies (1.93, -108)
Phillies are 51-23 in home games,
Reds are 2-7 in Cueto's last nine starts
Cincinnati fell 10-3 at Philadelphia Monday night and extended its season-high losing streak to six games. The Reds have also dropped nine consecutive games at Citizens Bank Park, with their last win on July 7, 2009. "We just haven't played well against the Phillies in a long, long time," said Reds starting pitcher Bronson Arroyo. "They find ways to beat us and tonight they beat us up real good." The club's losing streak is a sudden 180-degree turn from a recent stretch when they won five in a row and eight of nine games. Outfielder Jay Bruce is one of only a few players contributing at a high level recently, going 15 for 30 with four homers and nine RBIs over his last eight games. First baseman Joey Votto has been handcuffed against tonight's opponent, tallying one hit in his last 14 at-bats. Cincinnati is 3-1 this season after allowing 10 or more runs.
Reds starting pitcher Johnny Cueto will be making just his fourth start of the season, bringing in a 2-1 record and 1.45 ERA. The right-hander picked up his first loss of the year last time out, dropping a 5-3 home contest to the Pirates, surrendering a season-high three earned runs and five hits over just five frames. Cueto has tallied a 17-20 record and 4.16 ERA in 50 career road starts, which is a bit different than his 17-13 mark at home. In four career starts versus the Phillies, he has posted a 1-2 record and 5.96 ERA, including a 1-0 mark and 1.20 ERA in two starts last year.
