Cincinatti Must-Must-Win

15 games left, 5 games back. Atlanta's now a half-game ahead of the Marlins and starts a series with the Phillies tonight in Atlanta, where Philly has a 2-4 record this year. The Giants are 3.5 games back in the Wild Card and play at Dodger Stadium for the weekend, where they are 2-4 against the Dodgers this year. The WC-leading Rockies are in Arizona, where this year they are 3-3 against the Diamondbacks.

Yes, yes, the Marlins have lost 9 straight at Cincinatti. The Reds are also on a tear at home, winning their last 8 home games.

Here's hoping the Hurk's back isn't hurting, as he's back hurling tonight. Homer Bailey starts for the Reds.

The Marlins and Reds both have a 3-5 record in their last 8 September 18th games - Florida won last year, while Cincinatti's last win was in 2007.
