The Reds open a series in Atlanta as they compete in a tight NL Wild Card race. Hunter Greene faces Reynaldo Lopez. Greene, in his third year, managed to cut down on home runs allowed to bring his ERA to a very respectable 3.34. Lopez, with a 1.88 ERA, is about six innings short of qualifying for the NL lead. It make take two or three good starts for him to stick at the top of the leaderboard.

The Brewers visit the Cubs, and Chicago could use a sweep to gain in the wild card race, as catching the Brewers for the division looks very difficult. Tobias Myers takes on Javier Assad. Myers owns a 3.13 ERA in his rookie season. He does give up power, but that is balance by keeping batters off base with a .289 opposition OBP. Assad’s ERA is probably helped by the bullpen only allowing two his 15 bequeathed runners to score.

Enjoy!
