Both of these teams have struggled to this point of the season, but the Cincinnati Reds have one of their best starters on the mound in Luis Castillo as he is 11-5 with a respectable 3.10 ERA. The Reds also have found another bright spot as rookie Aristides Aquino has hit for 11 HRs and 22 RBIs through only 18 career games. The Reds should be able to dominate the Padres at home solely because of their pitching advantage as the unknown for the Padres scares me. Final Score Prediction, Cincinnati Reds win 5-3.
