Las Vegas - Jumping to the MLB board and grabbing Cincinnati over St. Louis. The Reds probably will not make it to the playoff party, but they're still fighting. And one of the reasons is the right arm of Brady Singer. With four wins in his last five decisions, Singer has been the brightest light on Cincy's staff. But it's his last three starts that have been gorgeous. What does gorgeous look like? It looks like 18 innings of work, only two earned runs for a very thin 1.00 ERA with 19 Ks. The other arm, Andre Pallante, is heading in the other direction. Pallante has been blitzed for 16 hits and 13 earned runs over the last 10 innings. Did anyone say batting practice? The Bank of Benj is wide open in Cincinnati.
