St. Louis Cardinals vs. Cincinnati Reds Spread, Line, Odds, Predictions, Picks and Betting Preview

Sportsgrid-Staff

Cardinals @ Reds – First Pitch: 12:35 p.m.

Expected Forecast: Scattered Clouds, 68°
 

The MLB clash between the Cincinnati Reds and the St. Louis Cardinals offers an exciting encounter. Miles Mikolas is on the mound for the Cardinals, while Luke Weaver gets the ball for the Reds in what promises to be a high-scoring affair with a total of 10 after opening at 10.5.

In Cincinnati’s small ballpark, the weather conditions have been favorable for a classic baseball showdown. Unfortunately, Weaver’s performance in the last 30 days doesn’t inspire confidence, owning an alarming 5.05 xFIP number and a low strikeout rate. A closer look at his stats reveals a worrying breakdown between lefties and righties: a .344 to lefties, a .444 to right-handers with a .328 ISO over 60 at-bats. The Cards’ bats might just have the perfect conditions to ignite.

On the flip side, Mikolas isn’t without his issues. His slightly higher xFIP over the past month might be a concern. Yet, a look at his splits reveals fairly lower power numbers, a .074 ISO to lefties and .121 to right-handers. St. Louis seems to have an edge, considering these stats.

To paint a stark picture, Weaver has allowed at least four earned runs in almost all of his starts this season. This has contributed to the Cardinalsteam total reaching 5.5. On the road, Sy. Louis will have a full nine innings of at-bats to capitalize.
