While I may regret it, I'm benching. It's a recipe for disaster - all of the best Philly hitters are lefties - I think he'll struggle tonight.
I also can't overlook the fact that the only decent hitter the Reds have is Votto, who's out again. Bruce - who either hits it out when one of his wild swings actually makes contact or strikes out - is a lefty against one of the best lefties in the biz.
Even if Cueto pitches decently he's extremely unlikely to win - not much to gain here and a lot to lose.
