Edinson Volquez (13-5, 2.93) takes the mound for Cincinnati trying to break out of a personal rut.
The All-Star right-hander has been anything but in four starts since the break, allowing 15 earned runs and 30 hits in 20 1-3 innings. On Tuesday, he gave up five runs and a season-high nine hits over five innings in an 8-1 home loss to Milwaukee.
Jeff Karstens (2-0, 0.00) looks to continue his outstanding pitching for the Pirates.
The right-hander has tossed 15 scoreless innings in two NL starts since he was acquired from the New York Yankees on July 26 in a six-player deal for outfielder Xavier Nady and reliever Damaso Marte.
Karstens was nearly perfect on Wednesday, setting down the first 23 batters in order before Chris Young doubled with two outs in the eighth inning. He finished with a two-hitter in a 2-0 victory, walking one and striking out four.
Cinci has lost 6 in a row and 9 of last 10
.Gotta fade this one
While all of your information is correct, this is even more reason to play Cincy.
Oddsmakers know everything there is to know about these pitchers and hitters. Yet, the odds come out BEGGING you to take Pitt. Have at it! I'll side with Vegas....
