Tomlin (6-0) struck out seven while holding the Reds to two runs -- both on a Joey Votto homer -- over 7.2 innings in Thursday's 7-2 win. He gave up just five hits and walked one.

EDGE Analysis

Tomlin's teased us before, but it's getting harder and harder to resist his charms with the veteran righty sitting on a 3.56 ERA and slender 1.02 WHIP. That said, you're well advised to continue resisting -- his typically marginal strikeout rate and tendency to give up homers are frightening, and that .242 BABIP screams regression, especially when he's sitting on the highest rate of hard-hit balls of his career. The immaculate control is well and good, but Tomlin's pitch-to-contact ways invite trouble, and it's going to find him sooner or later.
