Interesting. I was leaning either the other way or backing the Reds since I would be surprised if Oswalt held Cincy to 3 runs and I have some concerns about Arroyo. I see Oswalt as someone that people think his results of late are his true ability when he has done that damage against some poor offenses in good pitchers parks (when on the road). Plus with Cincy's familiarity with him and their mild success against him this year both as a team and their individual history against him should give them some confidence. Arroyo is someone with a large platoon split and the Phillies hitters have hit him well in the past. I feel Philly is a lineup that can be attacked right now though as evidenced by how effective Wood was in game 1. Plus Cincy has the two big LH relievers for late innings.
Just curious why you think both guys pitch well?

Sorry I was unable to get back to you guys. I thought Oswalt who was lights out at home would hold Cincy to a 2-3 runs at best. There were a bunch of errors in this game and Oswalt did not have his stuff. Cincy bats were cold vs. Halladay and I thought they would stay that way. Obviously yesterday they were cold again.
