WEATHER Storms in three spots Twins at Orioles … Should play Angels at Red Sox … Could be a PPD risk Nationals at Rockies … It will be chilly with the wind blowing in here as well. [spacer height=”20px”] LUCAS GIOLITO Giolito went 6 strong facing 24 batters last weekend so we’re good to go with him facing a Cubs team which started off well but has really cooled off. They’re hitting sub .200 over their last 10 days and it will be pitching favorable conditions tonight in Wrigley. FREDDY PERALTA At some point the Reds will get hot and sustain it for a whole 9 innings but it aint gonna come vs Freddy P. Gas, gas and more gas from Peralta tonight.

Austin Gomber showed flsahes a year ago and struggled out the gate before two good road outings where he struck out 14, and gave up 2 ER through 12 innings. Even though he is back at home in Coors Field I believe he will keep that recent strong form going and his best pitch right now is his Slider which most Nationals are very bad against. Gomber has GPP winning upside when you consider the leverage he also brings against cheap Nationals.

Mookie Betts Trea Turner Justin Turner BREWERS Vlad Gutierrez is at best a 4th starter and he cannot strike anyone out and has not looked very good this season. It’s only a matter of time until the Reds send him down to go do something else with his life at AAA and a Milwaukee 5 run start to this game is probably not going to help matters.
