We're going to bet against Elvin Rodriguez and the Brewers today even though they've got a four-game winning streak going, and the Reds have lost four straight. This is Rodriguez's third team in four years and his first start this year, in which he gave up six hits and four runs in four innings, resulting in an 11-1 loss to the Royals. Meanwhile, Brady Singer is with the Reds this year and he was magnificent in his first outing, going seven innings, allowing one hit and no runs in a 14-3 win over the Rangers. Singer was the starter of the Reds last win. He gets the win today, and the Reds somehow find a way to hit.

Solid pitching and poor hitting, an unmistakable combo for unders. That's the Reds, who came close to getting blanked for a fourth time in a row last night before losing again 3-2 at Milwaukee. The offense has to shift out of first gear, with only five hits on Friday, and spoiled another very good Reds pitching effort from Nick Martinez and the bullpen as Cincy has allowed only six runs the past four games...and lost them all. Meanwhile the Brewers have allowed only four runs total across their last four games, and Brady Singer was superb in his Cincy debut on Monday vs. Texas, pitching seven innings of one-hit ball with 8 Ks to pick up the win.
