There's no reason to go into Cincinnati and lose this series. There's no Cueto or Simon. No Votto or Bruce.
Milwaukee will be in Miami where the Marlins hit for a collective .820 OPS at home.

This road series is the midway bump on this stretch of home games. They finished the 1st half 7-2.
When they started this stretch, I said I felt they needed to go 14-8 or 15-7 to feel like this team had a title run in them. 7-2 (plus a rainout) is a nice start.
Shouldn't we get Cueto? He last pitches the same day Wainwright pitched his 1-hitter. I assumed Sunday would be Wainwright v. Cueto.

Cincinnati was off yesterday, so Cueto pitches Memorial Day.
I, too, thought they needed a 15-7 run. That would be a strong stretch, but I'm going to get greedy and say they need to go 16-6. It would be great if they could sweep one of the next two series then get at least a split with the Giants.

Guess I'm too used to TLR. No way he'd miss a chance to pitch his best pitcher against his biggest division rival. He'd have pushed someone back.
