Matchup for G10 - Reds @ Astros

The Cincinnati Reds, Roy O's slumpbuster. It's really amazing how dominant Roy has been in his career against the Reds...almost improbable. Here we're talking about a guy who, since arriving for the Astros full-time, has won more games than any other pitcher (129). And against the Reds? 23-1, with a 2.47 ERA / 1.08 WHIP. Just what Roy needs after a rough beginning to his season. It's also worth pointing out that Roy didn't get his crap together until after his 3rd start of the 2008 season.

Roy's last start: Sunday at St. Louis
Oswalt: 6IP: 9H/6ER, 4K/2BB - 1 Grand Slam
