Despite losing six of 10 through Wednesday, the Cincinnati Reds continue to tread water in the National League Central. <\/p>\n
MLB Gambling Online \u2013 Reds vs. Brewers Preview & Pick<\/strong> Cincinnati Reds (44-44 through July 6)<\/strong> Jay Bruce slump aside, we still know this team has as much power as any team in the NL. But what should the Reds do about their pitching?<\/p>\n Last year, guys like Bronson Arroyo and, when healthy, Edinson Volquez were great contributors. Aroldis Chapman was an ace or dominant closer in the making. But they\u2019ve all struggled this season.<\/p>\n Pretty much the only Reds pitcher pulling his weight is Johnny Cueto, who will face the Brewers on Saturday. He hasn\u2019t allowed more than three runs in a start this season. However, it\u2019s worth noting that Miller Park \u2013 which has been baseball\u2019s top offensive stadium in 2011 \u2013 has been a nightmarish place for Cueto to visit. Over three career starts there, he\u2019s 0-2 with 13 earned runs and four homers allowed in just 14.2 innings.<\/p>\n Milwaukee Brewers (46-42 through July 6)<\/strong> About a month ago, it looked like the Milwaukee Brewers were pulling away in the NL Central. Now, they\u2019re right back in the pack, going 2-7 over their last nine games. What\u2019s the problem? Part of it is that Corey Hart and Casey McGehee have tanked after overachieving in 2010. Ryan Braun\u2019s calf strain doesn\u2019t help, either.<\/p>\n Shaun Marcum\u2019s health has also been a concern. Since he started battling through a hip injury, he hasn\u2019t been the same. He hit a grand slam his last time out but has allowed four runs in each of his last two starts. [dfads params=’groups=10&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n The pick:<\/strong><\/p>\n Despite Cueto\u2019s poor history at Miller Park, I like him to turn things around on Saturday. He\u2019s pitching well enough this season that his previous numbers don\u2019t mean as much; he hasn\u2019t faced Milwaukee in 2011.<\/p>\n On the flip side, Marcum isn\u2019t himself. His home ERA is more than two runs higher than his road ERA. It also appears that he won\u2019t get his usual strong run support from the Milwaukee lineup, which hasn\u2019t been as reliable lately. Try the Reds as a minor upset play.<\/p>\n MLB Trends<\/strong> Reds vs Brewers prediction: Reds 5, Brewers 3<\/p>\n Shea weighs in with his MLB Free Pick for Saturday.
