CINCINNATI REDS -140 - One of the major knocks against Cincinnati the last couple of seasons was their alarming inability to win at home. Well don?t look now, but the Reds apparently enjoy playing in their brand new Great American Ballpark. They just finished off a 4-game sweep of the Cardinals here, and have now won 6 straight home games and 8 of their last 9. Tonight, they are facing a Milwaukee team that generally struggles on the road, going 7-11 so far this season. Reitsma is trying to earn a permanent spot in the Reds rotation. Granted, he got bombed at Colorado in his last start, but I?ll forgive him that effort due to the altitude. In his previous start, he held the Dodgers scoreless over 8 innings in this stadium. Reitsma has also won 4 of his 5 starts vs. Milwaukee since the 2001 season, posting a 3.06 ERA and a 1.22 ratio in the process. Kinney is 2-2 with a good 3.09 ERA. However, a closer look reveals that he had a very high 1.64 ratio on the road, and the way the Reds are hitting the ball right now, all of those Men on Base should translate to lots of runs.
