Both clubs come into this game with losing records so betting on either side is out of the question.
In eight of the last ten games of this series, nine or more runs have been scored.
Jimmy Nelson, starting Saturday, has been clobbered by the Reds batters. He’s allowed 31 hits in 107 at bats with six home runs scored.
That being said, Nelson (5-7) allowed two runs on six hits and four walks while striking out two over six innings, but received no decision Friday against the Cardinals.
He's now held opponents to three or fewer earned runs in each of his last four starts to lower his ERA to 3.62 on the year. But he hasn’t had a win since May.
With this in mind, the 9.5 total is just too high for our tastes.
