The N.L. Central Game of the Month is a nice dog play on the Cincinnati Reds. Game 957 at 7:05 eastern. The Reds have won 4 straight here and are the beneficiaries of a solid system that plays against the Pirates and all home favorites off a run home dog loss that scored 5 or more runs on 10+ hits, vs an opponent off a 1 run road favored win and scored 5 or more runs. These home favorites have lost 10 of 12. The Pirates are 0-4 with Volquez on the mound if they won his last start and his stats are not as good as A. Simon who is starting for the Reds. Simon has won 6 of 7 on the road with a solid 2.44 road era. He already has a solid start and win here this season. The Reds are 6-0 on the road off a 1 run road favored win and have won 7 of 10 on hump day. Look for the Reds to take this one.
