Joel Pineiro of the St. Louis Cardinals and Homer Bailey of the Cincinnati Reds are both in fine form right now, so do not look for many fireworks at Great American Ball Park tonight.

Pineiro is actually have an excellent season, and he would be a 20-game winner already if he received any run support. As it stands, he is 15-11 but with a very good 3.24 ERA and an excellent 1.13 WHIP in 203 innings.

He has been very consistent, allowing three earned runs or less in 22 of his 30 starts this season with 21 official Quality Starts, and he has one of the best sinkers in the game, with a nasty 2.42 groundball-to-flyball ratio. Pineiro has also allowed three runs or less in five of his six career starts vs. the Reds, and he allowed only four earned runs in the other effort.

Bailey was highly touted coming out of the minors a couple of years ago, but they may have rushed him up as he bombed badly. However, he has matured nicely this season and he has now allowed three runs or less in seven straight starts. Furthermore, he has two scoreless efforts in his last three home starts, going eight innings in one outing and seven innings in the other.

Look for both hurlers to maintain their form for at least one more start tonight.
