[blackcrow]

Cincinnati @ 1.89 pinnacle Leake is 9-6, with a 3.89 ERA as he has allowed 2 runs or less in 6 of his last 10 starts (total of 22 runs) with 1 run or none at all in 3 of his last 4 road starts. He is 3-0 with a 2.93 ERA in 4 starts against the Chicago Cubs, as he allowed 3 runs in six innings in the 14-3 road win over them last month. Dempster is 8-8, with a 4.96 ERA as he has allowed at least 3 runs in 4 of his last 5 starts, as well as only once pitching past the 6th innings in these last 5 starts. He has faced the Reds twice this year, allowing 2 runs on 5 hits in the 2-0 home loss to them in May and then allowing 1 run on 3 hits in the 4-1 road win over them. The Reds have won 6 of the 8 meetings this year with the Cubs, and like Leake, who gets some run support whilel Dempster does not, to lead them to another win. August picks: 6-10 (-2.55) July picks: 54-62 (+3.14) June picks: 53-72 (-2.95) May picks: 31-73 (-30.18) April picks: 45-56 (+2.52)
