SP:\u00a0 CIN:\u00a0 Bronson Arroyo, MIL:\u00a0 Chris Narveson<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"
Arroyo is 2-2 on the season<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Reds began hot, and this is the team they did it again, sweeping the Brewers en route to establishing the longest undefeated streak of the MLB at 5 games.\u00a0 Things haven’t been nearly as good since that time, and the Reds have now dropped to .500.<\/p>\n

Reds’ starter Bronson Arroyo has lost both his last two starts as well, and currently has a 2-2 record with a 4.24 ERA.\u00a0 He received a victory for his first outing this season despite being very sick with mononucleosis.\u00a0 He is probable for today’s game, but could be a last minute scratch.\u00a0 Last game against Milwaukee, Arroyo threw 65 of his 87 pitches for strikes, or 74.7%.\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cHe\u2019s in good shape. He knows how to pace himself and knows his body, probably as well as anybody I\u2019ve had,\u201d Reds manager Dusty Baker said.\u00a0 \u201cHe takes pride in winning, innings pitched and going deep in ballgames.\u201d\u00a0 Arroyo helped the Reds complete a sweep on April 3rd, as he gave up 3 runs in 7 innings of pitching, his last quality start.\u00a0 Arroyo’s PECOTA projections are a 13-12 record with a 4.31 ERA.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are times when they come easy and it seems like they\u2019re just going to keep coming,\u201d Arroyo told the Reds\u2019 official website. \u201cYou know eventually that you\u2019re going to go down the other side of the mountain. Those are the times you have to come to the ballpark and try to simplify things.\u201d<\/p>\n

Joey Votto is hot, but no one else is.\u00a0 The NL MVP of last year is batting .409 on the season with 6 HR and 19 RBIs in his last 18 games against Milwaukee.<\/p>\n

Milwaukee has been very good offensively.\u00a0 They are batting .332 with 42 runs & 6 HR in their last 6 games.\u00a0 Ryan Braun has been a big part of the offensive onslaught.\u00a0 He is batting .480 with 3 HR and 9 RBIs over the last six games.\u00a0 He’s also reached base safely in 21 straight games to start the season, which is a club record for the Brewers.\u00a0 In the last series with the Reds, Braun went 4 of 11 with 2 solo HRs.<\/p>\n

Brewers’ starter Chris Narveson is 1-0 with a 2.19 ERA.\u00a0 In his first two starts against the Reds, he only had 3 runs of support, so he lost the only decision, despite an impressive 3.18 ERA.\u00a0 In the last two Brewers’ losses, he gave up 6 runs in 11 2\/3rds inning.\u00a0 His PECOTA projection calls for a 6-6 record with a 4.74 ERA, down slightly from last year’s 4.99.\u00a0 If the early season is any indication of his future performance, he will shatter that projection.<\/p>\n

Some betting trends:<\/p>\n

Cincinnati is 2-6 SU in their last 8 games and the total has gone UNDER in 4 of their last 6 games.\u00a0 It has also gone UNDER in 4 of their last 6 road games while the Reds are 8-17 SU in their last 25 road games.\u00a0 The Reds are 5-0 SU in their last 5 games against the Milwaukee Brewers.\u00a0 The Reds are also 4-1 SU in their last 5 road games against the Brewers.<\/p>\n

Milwaukee is 4-2 SU in their last 6 games and the total has gone OVER In 4 of their last 6 games.\u00a0 The total has also gone OVER In 4 of their last 6 at home while the Brewers are 4-1 SU in their last 5\u00a0 at\u00a0 home.\u00a0 Milwaukee is 0-5 SU in their last 5 games against the Cincinnati Reds and the Brewers are 1-4 SU in their last 5 games at home against the Reds.<\/p>\n

Milwaukee is slightly favored in this game due to their offensive production.\u00a0 With Arroyo struggling a little, this could be trouble for the Reds.\u00a0 The Reds have to give Joey Votto some help offensively if they are going to regain the form they started the season with.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
