5/25 Mush of the Day

Reds (26-24) at Phillies (30-19)

Bailey (3-1) vs. Lee (3-4)

Pick:  Reds

*It's almost cruel, really, to have these two teams go 19 innings and then make them come back today for a 1:05 start.  But we're not in the schedule making business here in fantasy land, we're in the mushing picks business so I'll take the Reds.  Homer Bailey has been turning it on as of late, and the Phillies are swinging slower than a rusty gate these days.  Of course, anytime Cliff Lee takes the hill, there's a good chance the forecast calls for total domination, but the hard hitting Reds will be looking to get out of Philly with their dignity intact.  There's also the chance that after the six hour, 11 minute marathon last night, nobody shows up to the park today.  Actually, let's root for that.  It would give us our first push of the year and improve our record.

Fantasy Impact: Scott Rolen is 8 for 17 with a HR in his career against Cliff Lee.

Record: 2-10
