MLB - San Diego Padres v Cincinnati Reds

This is a pretty good opportunity to make a few bucks in my opinion, the reds are going to have a big lead in this match tonight mainly because of the differences in the starting pitcher on the mound.

The reds are sending in Harang, a pitcher with a season ERA of 3.12 – he has showed great control, a reasonable pitcher when it comes to striking out and for me a very reliable one.

The san diego Padres are sending in R wolf, a pitcher with a season ERA of 5.05 but pitching lousy – in the last 3 games he has a ERA of 8.27 – in fact wolf has been slumping a lot recently, allowing lots of hits and showing some trouble in the control dep. The difference in WHIP between these two is huge (1.286 vs 2.021) so for me the mains reason for this bet will be here – in the starting pitcher. Harang will stay longer on the game then Wolf making the small edge the padres had on bullpen not that important.

In terms of batting the reds are doing a little bit better recently – 0.252 vs 0.242, even having batted against more difficult opposition, for me the big handicap on this one.
