Tin soldiers and Nixon coming...

Okay this is a different kind of confrontation in Ohio. Redlegs and the Tribe. I like the Reds a lot at -106. Neither team is what you would call hot right now. Tribe is 2-8 in the last 10 while Reds are 4-6.

I like the matchup. Arroyo has been a very pleasant surprise for the Reds as much as Byrd has been a disappointment for the Tribe. At all of the internal numbers I look at Arroyo buries Byrd. Tribe has had a better offense but they are pretty much in a teamwide slump right now and they are the sort of team that has to hit to win. Plus Cincy gets to add a bat with the DH which is a plus since Rusch isn't pitching for the Tribe. Right now Cincy has been the better team all season long with the better pitcher at near even money which offers up a lot of edge today.
