The Cincinnati Reds claimed the opener of this three-game set with a 6-3 triumph Friday night, and I like the price we get on the Reds to secure the series with a win here in Game 2.

Reds' righty Luis Castillo (7-2, 2.56 ERA) was smacked around at Milwaukee last time out, but he is 4-1 behind a 2.01 ERA in eight starts home at Great American Ball Park on the season. Castillo is 3-1 with a 3.75 ERA in seven career starts against the Cubs.

Chicago left-hander Jose Quintana (4-7, 4.50 ERA) will be under a lot of pressure as Cubs' bullpen will be taxed after covering eight innings in Friday night's loss. Quintana has posted an 0-6 mark with a 5.40 ERA over his past nine starts and was torched for a season-high nine runs (eight earned) in 4 1/3 innings in a 10-2 loss to the Yankees last time out.

Cubs are 2-9 in their last 11 road games. Reds are 5-0 in their last 5 home games. Reds are 14-6 in Castillos last 20 home starts.

8* play on Cincinnati Reds.
