Nothing, and I do mean nothing has gone right for the Cincinnati Reds for the better part of two weeks. On Saturday, they\u2019ll once again get the chance to show they\u2019re better than they\u2019ve been during this brutal 8-game losing streak, and they\u2019ll fortunately have their resident ace on the mound in young Chase Burns.<\/p>\n

The Houston Astros<\/a> will counter with righty Spencer Arrighetti<\/a>, who\u2019s off to a wonderful start to his season so far. He\u2019s got some underlying data that suggests the Reds could still get to him, though, as he sports a 5.5 BB\/9, 1.30 WHIP, and a low BABIP of .263. Maybe, just maybe, today\u2019s a day the Cincinnati offense can get untracked.<\/p>\n
