Cincinnati Reds @ Tampa Bay Rays

These two pitchers have nice stuff. I particularly like Hellickson, who has only allowed more than three earned runs once over his last 10 outings and is much better than 7-6 and is coming off two quality starts*. Leake has been brutal since coming back up (2.85 ERA in six starts - 0.76/3.00 L3).

The Rays are swinging a hot stick and the Reds have plenty of offensive potential too, but at I'll go Under at the Trop with these two toeing the rubber.

Pick: Under 8 @ 1.91

*I know there's a couple of people who read this blog, who aren't regular baseball watchers so ... In baseball, a quality start is a statistic for a starting pitcher defined as a game in which the pitcher completes at least six innings and permits no more than three earned runs.(wiki paste)
