REDS -144 4.5* MLB POD
We rebounded nicely yesterday with the Dodgers 4-0 win and we return Monday with just 1 play. This play is on the Reds and Mike Leake who faces a Padres team that struggles to score runs as the Reds look win an 11th in a row. Leake has posted an ERA of 2.86 over his last 7 starts after struggling early and the Padres have never faced him. Volquez returns to Cinci where he pitched well in his career but lacked run support. The same thing has been true pitching for the Padres and he has not been that great. He posts a .862 OPS vs. the Reds in 31 AB, but it is his 5.12 BB/9 that concerns me and I think the Reds should be able to take advantage of that. The Reds are also 20-7 in their last 27 vs. a RH starter and 39-18 in their last 57 home games as a favorite.
