8* play on the OVER Reds/Mets.

The Reds have lost three straight heading into Game 3 of this series in New York. We saw plenty of scoring in the first two games of the series, and the Reds have been involved in more than their share of high scoring games this season. My money is on the over tonight.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Pitching - The Reds will send 24 year old right-hander Jon Moscot to the mound tonight, and he was roughed up pretty good in his last start. Moscot (0-1, 5.06 ERA) gave up four runs on three hits and four walks in just five innings in a loss to the Cubs. Matt Harvey will go for the Mets, and he's 1-3 with a 5.24 ERA so far.

2. Batter vs. Pitcher - The Reds are hitting .333 over a combined 48 at bats versus Harvey, and Joey Votto is 3-for-9 with a home run lifetime versus the right-hander.

3. X-Factor - The over is 6-0-1 in the last seven meetings in this series.

Selection: This is a play on the Reds@Mets to go OVER the total (8*)
