- Rotation #953: MLB Monday Philadelphia Phillies -117 @ Cincinnati Reds @ 6:40 ET - I see no reason to stop riding the Phillies now. Just look at their lineup compared to the Reds lineup. There is no comparison. This Philadelphia team has a very dangerous lineup again this season while Cincinnati has been winning games mostly with pitching as this team is not impressive at the plate. In fact, the Reds .225 batting average ranks down near the bottom of the majors with teams like the Marlins and A's and White Sox and Twins and Cardinals. In fact those 5 teams are a combined 42 games under .500 so far this season! The Reds lack of hitting will catch up with them soon and it is likely right now against a Phillies team that finally got their sticks going. Philadelphia has won 6 straight games and has scored an average of 7.2 runs per game in their 5 most recent victories. The Reds have won 3 straight games but yesterday's game was the 4th time in last 6 games that has seen Cincinnati held to 3 or less runs. The Reds have averaged just 2 runs scored in those 4 games. Conversely, the Phillies have scored at least 4 runs in 8 of last 11 games including at least 5 runs in 5 straight games. The Reds Greene is a strong pitcher who has piled up strikeouts this season but he did allow 6 earned runs in most recent home start. Also, the Phillies Suarez has allowed just 16 hits in 26 innings plus has not allowed any runs in the 15 innings spanning his last two starts! Also, these lineups don't have much experience against these starting pitchers but the Phillies have 5 guys who have enjoyed success versus Greene and those 5 guys are a combined 10 for 21 which is huge! The Reds just have two guys who have had some success against Suarez and those guys are a combined mediocre 3 of 11. The more potent lineup plus a starting pitcher who has thrown 15 straight scoreless frames in his last two starts. Lay it with the road team in this one. PHILADELPHIA -117
