This is a 10* ART OF WAR on the Cincinnati Reds.

We think this is a much bigger pitching mismatch than what the oddsmakers are leading us to believe, great value on the visitors and Johnny Cueto (6-6, 2.79 ERA) who is coming off an outing to forget in which he gave up two runs off four hits over four innings of work, ultimately earning a no-decision for his effort. Cueto has been involved with trade discussions with a few teams already and will be hungry for a bounce back effort here, he'll take heart in the fact that he has in fact excelled in this spot by posting a 2.56 ERA in all "night" games this season. The home side counters with Chris Rusin (3-3, 3.88 ERA) who after a decent start to the season has steadily regressed, most recently he was shelled for five runs off seven hits over six innings in a fortunate no-decision vs. the Tigers on Monday; note that Rusin is now winless in his last four outings. For the most part MLB handicapping comes down to the starting pitching and in this matchup, we're going to give Cueto the clear nod and with that important factor on our side, we do indeed have no issues at all in pulling the trigger on this 10* ART OF WAR on the REDS.
