10* Reds (ASSASSIN)

We feel, that at this price, Nick Martinez (6-5, 3.16 ERA) and the home side are well worth the price of admission. Martinez will be opposed by Michael Lorenzen (5-6, 3.79) of the Royals in the opener of this IL series. The Reds come in having won four straight and they're now just four games back of a Wildcard spot. KC still has a 4.5-games lead over Boston for the final WC spot in the AL, but the Royals certainly haven't been playing their best baseball over the last month, going just 4-6 in their last ten. The Reds have hit more home runs (11), than they've conceded runs (seven), over their last four games. Lorenzen hasn't looked terrible since coming over from the Rangers in a trade, but he hasn't been a standout either. Martinez is coming off his best start of the year, holding the hard-hitting Brewers scoreless over seven; lay the price with confidence, the play is Cincinnati!
