8* play on Cincinnati Reds.

The Reds beat the Phillies by a score of 6-2 on Opening Day, and these two National League bottom feeders will be back at it in Game 2 in Cincinnati tonight. Both teams will hand the ball to young and inexperienced pitchers, but the Reds should have the advantage at home against a team that had the lowest batting average in the majors last year.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Previous History - The Phillies are 29-64 in their last 93 road games, and they've lost seven of the last nine in this series with Cincinnati, and six straight at Great American Ballpark.

2. Joey Votto - The Reds have lost a lot of star power, but they still have Joey Votto. The 32 year old hit a two run home run in Game 1, giving Cincinnati the lead in the eighth inning. He's crushed the Phillies, batting .404 against them since 2013.

3. X-Factor - The Phillies are 0-4 in Nola's last four starts versus a team with a winning record.

Selection: This is a play on the Cincinnati Reds (8*)
