GAME: Washington Nationals @ Cincinnati Reds Aug 15, 2009 7:10PM
PICK: Washington Nationals
REASON FOR PICK: Play On: Washington vs Cueto
Note: Johnny Cueto and the Reds host the Nats at All American Ballpark in Cincinnati Saturday night in a matchup of two teams going nowhere this post-season. Cueto enters tonight game 1-6 with a 9.57 ERA in his last seven team starts, including 4 losses in a row. He is also 1-6 in his career team starts in August. Thanks to Cueto, the Reds are the worst team in the majors on Saturdays at 4-14 this season, as he's come up a loser in all 4 of his Saturday starts. The bottom line is with Cueto unraveling with each and every start, Cincinnati simply doesn't warrant laying this kind of price. Grab the Nats here tonight.
We recommend a 1-unit play on Washington versus Cueto.
Mark Lawerence 8/15
