Sunday MLB Baseball Picks: Braves vs Mets<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The road back to respectability clearly goes through the pitching staff for the Cincinnati Reds. They\u2019ve been half a good team this season, mashing the cover off the ball but posting some of the league\u2019s worst pitching numbers. <\/p>\n

Cincinnati Reds (32-31 through June 8 )<\/strong>
\nEdinson Volquez (4-2, 5.74)<\/p>\n

Can Edinson Volquez right the ship? He returned from his Triple-A tuneup on June 7 and looked more like vintage Volquez, allowing one run and striking out five in seven innings for the win. The Reds will have to hope he can conquer his ugly history against the Giants on Sunday night. In three career starts against, Volquez has an 8.31 ERA. Inexplicably, he\u2019s 2-1 against them. That\u2019s what happens when you have Joey Votto and Jay Bruce swinging the bats to back you up.<\/p>\n

San Francisco Giants (35-27 through June 8 )<\/strong>
\nJonathan Sanchez (4-4, 3.51)<\/p>\n

Give the defending champs credit for playing exactly as advertised this season. Third in the majors in ERA, first in strikeouts, 28th<\/sup> in runs scored, 26th<\/sup> in batting average. Their last six games have been decided by two runs or less \u2013 but they\u2019ve won four of those on the strength of their consistently stellar pitching staff. [dfads params=’groups=10&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n

Jonathan Sanchez is up to his old tricks for the most part. No one can hit him \u2013 opponents bat .205 off him \u2013 but he puts everybody on base through his walks. Sanchez\u2019s 45 free passes in 74.1 innings qualify as a lot even by his lofty standards.<\/p>\n

MLB Trends:<\/strong><\/p>\n

CIN are 2-7 in their last 9 games following a win.
\nCIN are 2-7 in their last 9 Sun. games.
\nCIN are 4-10 in their last 14 road games.
\nUnder is 16-5 in SF last 21 home games.
\nSF are 7-2 in Sanchezs last 9 home starts.
\nUnder is 5-2-1 in Sanchezs last 8 on grass.
\nOver is 6-2 in the last 8 meetings.<\/p>\n

The pick:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Giants will surely be favored at home but I wonder if Cincy can pull a minor upset on Sunday Night <\/em><\/p>\n

Baseball<\/em>. It\u2019s funny \u2013 Volquez went back to Triple-A to work on his pitches and facing the Giants\u2019 lineup is pretty much like facing a Triple-A lineup. They don\u2019t have many bats that can hurt him. The Red hitters can hurt Sanchez in all sorts of ways. Watch out for Brandon Phillips, who has three homers in just eight career at-bats against Sanchez. I like the Reds on Sunday night.<\/p>\n

Reds vs Giants prediction: <\/strong>Reds 5, Giants 3<\/p>\n
