Bronson Arroyo coming off two great starts at home going 9 and 8 innings giving up 1 ER. However, he'll have his hands full tonight on the road where he comes off two road starts giving up 3 and 5ER. The Reds who were 13-8 before the Brewers series lost 3 straight. With Votton on the DL and the Cardinals hungry for a win after losing last night I think this game belongs to them.
Cardinals are 6-4 (3-1 @ home) in the last 10 times they faced Arroyo while they are 4-0 when Brad Thompson pitches vs. the Reds. While I don't expect Thompson to go long in his first time back I do expect the bullpen to pick up the slack they have a 1.05 ERA in the last 3 games and the Cardinals are 10-7 in Game 2's this season!
The Cardinals have won 36 of the last 52 games played in St. Louis vs. the Reds.
