The Arizona Diamondbacks host the Cincinnati Reds in a game with Wild Card implications. Graham Ashcraft is expected to take the mound for the Reds against Slade Cecconi for Arizona. Arizona has taken two of the first three games. The Reds will look to even the series by sending Graham Ashcraft to the mound. He is 7-8 with a 4.84 ERA and a 1.38 WHIP. In July, he is 3-1 with a 1.84 ERA and is 1-1 with a 3.10 ERA so far in August. The Diamondbacks had been hot before last night's loss, winning their last six games and 11 out of their last 13 overall. Slade Cecconi will make his third start and just fifth appearance when he takes the mound. He is 0-0 with a 2.94 ERA and a 1.04 WHIP this year. This is a game the Reds need to win. Graham Ashcraft has pitched really well the last two months of the season. He has lost just 1 start since the break. Cecconi may not go long and the D'backs bullpen ranks in the bottom third in ERA. I am taking the Reds to come out of Arizona this weekend.
