ATLANTA -120
Two young pitchers on the mound today, both just two starts on the season. The major issue here is offense. Atlanta is hitting .267 vs. LHP this season. Cincy is hitting just .240 vs. RHP. Cincy is also resting Votto (.357), Gomes (.310), Dickerson (.240), Hernandez (.240); and after that, it falls off quick. Cincy's pitcher is coming in with the best BA, and the catcher Hanigan is in 2nd with BA, so their two slowest players (typically) have the best BA. Atlanta, on the other hand, will be playing most of their starters trying to avoid the sweep.
PREDICTION: ATL 7 CINCY 3
