🏆 Who will win Cardinals vs. Reds?
Cincinnati is one of five NL teams that is at least 11 games under .500 against teams with a winning record, and I like the momentum St. Louis has after taking a road series against the Cubs over the weekend.
Score prediction: Cardinals 5, Reds 4
💰 Cardinals vs. Reds prediction & best bet
Cardinals ML (+105)
St. Louis enters having won the last two games against the Cubs, after Chicago had won six of seven home games. A red-hot offense that averaged 9.5 runs per game while collectively batting .286 with a 1.043 OPS in the two wins was the catalyst.
Cincinnati is a middle-of-the-road offense with a 100 wRC+ against southpaws. It is also 11-24 against divisional opponents, as only the Nationals have a worse winning percentage in the NL against teams from their own division.
Mathews should deal, as he’s the second minor-leaguer since 2011 to record 200 strikeouts in a season.
