13/9 10/9 makes the outside point, but the 3-point and the 9-point don't work well together.
Red has already made his ace-point, so his game plan is attacking/closing rather than priming.
10/6 puts a valuable spare on the 6-point and Red can concentrate on closing the board since he doesn't have to worry about outfield blots.
