MLB: Reds
by ImpactSportsPicks.com
Saturday 7th of August 2004

Selection: Cincinnati @ Colorado 8:05 pm EST
Play On: Reds (Wilson)

The teams with the two worst pitching staffs continue their series in the Mile High city tonight. As those who have followed our musings all year, you understand we loath Cincy.

Despite being only three games below .500 the runs scored/runs allowed differential for the Reds is -93. For perspective, today's opponent the Rockies are 13 games below .500 and are -44 by comparison. Based on that info, why do we like the Reds today?

Cincinnati is starting to score runs again, which is what got them into first place in the first part of the season. Reds starter Wilson has tapered off considerably, yet is clearly due for a solid performance and a system we follow suggests the timing is right today.

Rockies starter Cook has had a nice run of starts with a 1.54 ERA in his last three trips to the rubber. As they say in the NFL, upon further review, A. Cook has given up considerably more hits then innings pitched and his K/W ratio is 1 to 1.

Colorado is twenty games below .500 against RH starters, thus we believe the Reds are a solid dog opportunity.

Is Billy Coleman any Good?

Billy Coleman

He is very inconsistent. A GOY on a 150-160 favorite? Who is n't playing very well?

Strange.

Thanks Spicolli, here are a few stats for this game that are interesting:

BREWERS PROBABLE STARTER: Wes Obermueller (3-5, 6.69 ERA). Called up from Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday, Obermueller will be making his first start since July 8. The 27-year-old right-hander was 0-3 with a 5.19 ERA in four starts at Indianapolis. He has never faced the Marlins. To make room on the roster for Obermueller, the Brewers designated right-hander Matt Kinney for assignment.

MARLINS PROBABLE STARTER: Ismael Valdez (9-6, 5.53 ERA). Acquired from San Diego before the trade deadline, Valdez will be making his debut for the Marlins. He has not pitched since July 29, when he allowed four runs and six hits over 5 1-3 innings but did not get the decision in the Padres' 7-4 win over San Francisco. The 30-year-old right-hander is 5-3 with a 3.30 ERA in nine career games against the Brewers.

Yeah, I made a very small bet, but I like the grand slam 4-0 lead. The thing I hate about betting baseball is the come from behind victory after your team is up by a few runs. Go Fish, although I still hate them for losing me big $ in last years World Series.....spoke too soon brewers have bases loaded, man im a jinx....whew got out of it
