The Pirates host the Reds for a double header, and I'll cover game 1 in this article here. For the Reds, Luis Castillo will take the mound posting a 4.10 era, 1.47 era, 52 strike outs, an exit velocity average at 84.6, and a record of 0-5. The Reds TBA is at .215 and a woba of .311.

For the Pirates, Steven Brault will take the mound posting a 4.00 era, a 1.44 whip, 14 strike outs, and exit velocity of 87.2, and a record of 0-1. The Pirates TBA is .218 with their woba sitting a .270.

I like the Reds in this one, Luis Castillo is still a solid pitcher and his era is not what it seems to be. I think he gives the Pirates batting unit trouble in a game with just 7 innings.
