Analysis:

Cincinnati Reds:

  • Record: 39-38 overall, 19-21 on the road

  • Recent Performance: The Reds are on a three-game losing streak. They have been competitive, but their pitching has been an issue lately with a 5.28 ERA over their last 10 games. However, Andrew Abbott has been impressive with a 1.84 ERA, which gives them a strong edge on the mound.

  • Key Performers:

    • Elly De La Cruz: 14 doubles, a triple, 17 home runs, and .265 batting average.

    • TJ Friedl: 10 for 39, 2 doubles, 2 home runs over the last 10 games.

St. Louis Cardinals:

  • Record: 42-35 overall, 24-14 at home

  • Recent Performance: The Cardinals have been playing solid baseball, going 6-4 in their last 10 games. Their offense is clicking, with a .329 on-base percentage (4th in the NL). However, Miles Mikolas has been inconsistent, with a 4.35 ERA, and could be vulnerable in this matchup.

  • Key Performers:

    • Willson Contreras: 10 home runs, .415 slugging percentage.

    • Alec Burleson: 16 for 42, 3 home runs, 10 RBI over the last 10 games.

Betting Recommendations:

Moneyline:

  • Reds -114: Andrew Abbott's exceptional form on the mound and the Reds' solid offensive potential give them the slight edge here. Despite the Cardinals' strong home record, the Reds' pitching advantage makes them the better pick for the win.
