Cincinnati Reds News and Betting Tips for Sunday, May 29, 2011
The Reds are on the verge of going under .500 with a 27-26 record and third place in the National League Central division. Johnny Gomes got four hits last night to break his 16 at bat hitless streak. His average for the month of May is .178. Jay Bruce failed to get a hit and to continue to ride his 1 for 10 against the Braves this year. The Red just called up Jeremy Horst to make his debut last night with an impressive four strike outs but allowed a McCann homer in the game.
Our Reds vs. Braves Pick and Predictions
The Reds roster is in flux. The addition of Horst to the roster made him the 10th Reds pitcher to be involved in a transaction over the last week. The Reds have added Mike Leake (Friday’s winner), Carlos Fisher (Saturday’s loser), Matt Maloney and Daryl Thompson. They’ve optioned Thompson (back to Double-A) and Edinson Volquez (to Triple-A), placed Maloney and Homer Bailey on the DL, sent Aroldis Chapman on a rehab assignment and lost Daniel Ray Herrera on a waiver claim. This is a team is disarray and will not function with that kind of turnover. Meanwhile the Braves are a picture of stability and have the league leader in ERA on the mound. With our free pick for your bet it would be the Braves -136 for the win.
