\"\"
The Reds got off to a 5-0 start but are just 2-3 since then<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Reds will be in the hunt for their third straight victory over the Padres tonight.\u00a0 Monday night, Edinson Volquez held the Padres to 2 runs in 6 innings, and the bullpen came in to throw three scoreless innings, while Jonny Gomes and Chris Heisley homered in the 3-2 Reds’ win.<\/p>\n

Gomes has been hot.\u00a0 He’s hit home runs in the last two games and has 6 RBIs, as well.\u00a0 The Reds were able to score 3 runs on only 5 hits.\u00a0 Surely the batting average must improve if the Reds are going to continue to win at the rate that they are.<\/p>\n

In the September 26, 2010 meeting between the teams, Cincinnati scored 12 runs against Clayton Richard in a 12-2 victory.\u00a0 Richard gave up 6 runs in 5 innings in the loss.\u00a0 T\u00a0 Votto and Brandon Phillips both homered that game.\u00a0 This year Richard is 1-0 with a 3.86 ERA.\u00a0 His PECOTA projections are for a 10-9 record and a 4.25 ERA, both figures significantly worse than last year when he went 14-9 with a 3.75 ERA.<\/p>\n

Sam LeCure will take the mound for Cincinnati.\u00a0 He made his first start of the season on Thursday as he held Hosuton to 2 runs and 3 hits, with 6 strikeouts over 5 innings, but he did not record a decision in that game.\u00a0 LeCure has lost his last 4 decisions to the Padres and has pitched a 4.70 ERA in 7 career starts against San Diego.<\/p>\n

San Diego must get bigger contributions from Ryan Ludwick.\u00a0 The slugger hasn’t had a good year since 2008, when he hit .299 with 37 homers and 113 RBIs.\u00a0 His PECOTA projection for the year is .275 BA with 24 HRs and 77 RBIs.\u00a0 San Diego would be happy to get at least that good of a season from the 32 year old left fielder.<\/p>\n

Cincinnati is having problems with their leadoff batter, Drew Stubbs.\u00a0 Stubbs is 1 of 17 from the plate this year and did not play in the series opener due to his poor play.\u00a0 \u201cHe is missing pitches, getting up in the air a little bit too much,\u201d said Reds manager Dusty Baker. \u201cHe needs to observe and simplify things. When you\u2019re a smart person like he is, sometimes you think too much.\u00a0 Sometimes in this game, it\u2019s better to have the ability to not think at all. He\u2019s a smart young man. Consequently, you\u2019re always trying to figure something out. He\u2019ll be fine.”\u00a0 He is likely to play today.<\/p>\n

Some betting trends:<\/p>\n

Cincinnati is 7-3 SU in their last 10 games and they are 3-7 SU in their last 10 games on the road.\u00a0 The Reds are 4-10 SU in their last 14 against the Padres and the Reds are 2-6 SU in their last 8 on the road against the Padres.<\/p>\n

San Diego is 1-4 SU in their last 5 games and the total has gone UNDER in 5 of the Padres last 7 games.\u00a0 San Diego is 1-4 SU in their last 5 games at home and the total has gone UNDER\u00a0 in 6 of the Padres’ last 8 games at home.\u00a0 San Diego is 10-4 SU in their last 14 games against the Reds and the Padres aer 6-2 SU in their last 8 home games against the Reds.<\/p>\n

Cincinnati is not favored in this game despite having a better record than the Padres.\u00a0 Moreover, the Reds have won the last 2 meetings against the Padres, and have that working in their favor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
