REDS/CARDINALS Under 9 -125 - This Under is already getting bet, as it opened at 9 Under ?115. Williams is looking for some retribution after allowing 5 runs on 8 hits in only 4 innings vs. these Reds in his last start. However, that was his first start since coming off the DL, and I expect an improved performance tonight with a start under his belt. His YTD numbers are still solid, as he has a 2.79 ERA and an outstanding 1.08 WHIP in 80.2 innings. He had recorded 7 consecutive Quality Starts vs. Cincinnati prior to that last start, which is another reason to look for improvement tonight. The Under is now 9-4 in all Williams starts this year, including 5-2 at home. Haynes is in good form right now, allowing just 3 runs in his last 17.2 innings of work. He shut these Cardinals out on 7 hits in 8 innings in his last start, his 3rd Quality Start out of 4 starts vs. St. Louis this season. Haynes has now gone Under in his last 4 starts, with an average total score in those 4 starts of only 6.25 runs per game.
