Reds vs Giants

Again, the whole odd number of teams thing comes into effect here and this time the bye is going to the Braves. Is it because I actually want the Braves to go "bye"? In this contest, no. As a franchise... yes, absolutely.

Giants, pitching, blah blah blah. The Reds should be able to run right over the San Fran hitting, but if that Red Guzman can catch a few base cards before hitting a parallel, then this could knock the Reds right out. If not, then it'll be close. I think we only had one other time though where both teams had the same number of cards, so there's no automatic deficit to overcome. Neat-o.

Jay Bruce vs Freddy Sanchez.
For an NL batting champ, Sanchez gets no love. Not even here...
Reds-9 Giants-8

And there's the only dynamite in the Giants lineup.
Red-8 Giants-8

Scott Rolen "Red" vs Aaron Rowand
Still think Wright should have won the Gold Glove this year. I've been called a homer before though...
Reds-8 Giants-7

Joey Votto vs Jesus Guzman "Red"
DYNO-MITE!
Reds-7 Giants-7

Brandon Phillips "Red" vs Jesus Guzman "Red"
And boom goes the dynamite.
Reds-7 Giants-6

The Reds opened up a 1 card lead through the hitting. If they can tie through the pitching, then we'll get a 3 card playoff.

Edison Volquez vs Matt Cain
How a pitcher has a career ERA of under 3.50 and a below.500 winning percentage to show for it is beyond me.
