(MLB) Cincinnati vs. NY Mets,
Money Line: -102.00 Cincinnati (Away)
Result: Win
The Reds big bats went 0-9 on Saturday so I expect some hits from them today. Alfredo Simon could have easily been moved back to the pen with the injury to Aroldis Chapman, but instead, the Reds have decided to have him start in place of injured starter Mat Latos. I think that says a lot about their confidence in the 32-year old veteran. The righty has been stellar out of the pen for the Reds the last couple of seasons finishing 2013 with a 2.87 ERA in 63 appearances after posting a 2.66 ERA in three dozen appearances in 2012. Simon has held the Mets scoreless in three appearances against them and I'm betting he'll hold them in check again today. Lets bang the Cincy Reds here on Sunday.
