New York had much better World Series odds than Cincinnati coming into the season, but if you would have told an online sports betting player that the Reds would have a better record going into the All-Star break, you’d be committed to a mental institution. The two meet in the Big Apple on Saturday night in the second of a three-game series.

Cincinnati Reds vs New York Mets – Saturday, July 11, 7:10 PM ET

Johnny Cueto (8-5, 3.45) didn’t even make it out of the first inning in a 22-1 loss at Philadelphia, allowing nine runs on only five hits, including a pair of homers. It may be just as bad on Saturday night, as he is 0-1 in two starts against the Mets in his career, with an ERA of 10.80. Cueto has been decent on the road this year with a 6-3 mark in 10 starts away from home.

Johan Santana (9-7, 3.29) also made his last start in Philadelphia, but his outing went a lot better than his 23-year-old Dominican Republic compatriot. Santana gave up a pair of runs on three hits over seven innings, but still took the loss as the Mets fell 2-0. Santana’s first start of the year came against the Reds, when he gave up a run on three hits over 5.2 innings of a 2-1 victory in Cincinnati. This improved his career record to 2-0 in four starts against the Reds, although his 5.48 ERA leaves a lot to be desired. The 30-year-old southpaw is also a sparking 6-2 in nine home starts with a 2.08 ERA.
