1* FREE PLAY Reds.

2 teams in need of a win collide here in the opener of this 3 game series. The Reds went 1-2 vs. the D-Backs at home most recently, losing the final 2. The Cards enter off 3 straight losses at Tampa Bay, including yesterday's 2-1 defeat. Andre Pallante is 1-0 with a 1.23 ERA for St. Louis. He's been pressed into starting service out of necessity, as St. Louis is dealing with several injuries to its starting rotation. Pallante looked good in his first outing vs. the Cubs, allowing 1 run over 4 innings. But he's in unchartered territory now and I think he'll stumble here opposite Luis Castillo, who is 2-3 with a 3.55 ERA overall this year, but who has a 2.70 ERA over his last 4 starts. Give me the veteran here over the rookie! Consider the plus-money and Cincinnati on Friday night!
