The Reds beat the Astros 3-0 back on April 29, ending a streak of 11 consecutive home losses in Great American Ball Park at the hands of Houston, not to mention having lost 17 of the previous 18, as well. However, the Reds have won the first two games of this three-game home series with Houston, giving them three straight home wins over the Astros and putting the Reds in a position to sweep a home series over Houston for the first time in five years. I typically don't like to play teams to complete sweeps but the Astros are in quite a funk, having lost a season-high six straight games, while scoring only 20 runs (3.33 per game). Felipe Paulino (1-3 with a 6.90 ERA in eight appearances, including five starts) will get the call for Houston. Paulino has made two starts vs the Reds in 2009, giving up just two ERs and nine hits over 11.2 innings but has gotten just one run of support. A lack of help has been a problem all season for Paulino, as in his five 2009 starts, he's received three total runs of support. No wonder the Astros are 0-5 in those starts. Bronson Arroyo will start for the Reds and while he's allowed 62 hits in 56 innings over nine starts with a 5.79 ERA in 2009, he has a 6-3 record. The Astros couldn't beat the Reds with Oswalt on the mound last night, who took a 23-1 lifetime mark vs the Reds into that game, so I sure don't want to back theme here, with Paulino on the mound. Take the Reds.
