Here are today’s power trends:

Mike Leake of Cincinnati is 6-3 when starting against Pittsburgh with an ERA of 3.81 and a WHIP of 1.269 while Francisco Liriano is 1-4 when starting against Cincinnati with an ERA of 3.29 and a WHIP of 1.070.  His team is 1-5 during his starts vs. Cincy.  We would be remiss to point out that Cincinnati is 2-6 in Leake's last 8 road starts vs. Pittsburgh at home, something to keep in the back of your minds.

The Reds are 2-1 so far against Pittsburgh this season.

While both clubs have nearly identical records, Cincinnati has won 5 of their last 6 games overall while Pittsburgh is just 2-8 in their last ten games overall.

The Reds are 8-3 in Leake's last 11 starts as a road underdog of +110 to +150 and 10-4 in his last 14 starts vs. National League Central.

Liriano is a solid pitcher so we are getting the Reds at +128 for today’s pick.
