The set-up: Neither pitcher can be satisfied with their overall performance in 2018. The Padres turn to Eric Lauer, while the Reds go with Luis Castillo.

The pitchers: Lauer is so far 5-7 with a 5.01 ERA. He most recently gave up one run off no hits with two walks while striking out two over five innings against the Rockies on Thursday. He only generated three swinging strikes though and note that a date on the road is not what the doctor ordered to carry over the momentum, as Lauer is a poor 2-3 with a 5.98 ERA away from friendly confines this season.

Castillo is so far 8-11 with a 4.83 ERA. He most recently comes in off a strong effort as well, going 6.2 scoreless and striking out 11 in a victory over St. Louis on Saturday. Castillo has admittedly looked a bit better of late, but note that he's still owns a very pedestrian 4.67 ERA in all night games.

The pick: Take it for what you will as well, but the Reds have seen the total go "over" the number in ten of their last 16 night National League home games in which they're a favorite in the -105 to -150 range. This number is low considering the inconsistencies of these starting pitchers, play the "over."
