Betting Trends

-Over is 8-3 in the last 11 meetings.

-Over is 5-2-1 in Cardinals last 8 games as a road favorite of -110 to -150.

-Over is 4-0 in Reds last 4 vs. a team with a winning record.

-Over is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings in Cincinnati. Recently both of these teams have struggled at the plate, but no matter what when these two teams play runs follow. In fact so far this year when these teams play in Cincy they have averaged 12 runs per game. Homer Bailey goes for Cincy today and he has been horrible all year. He averages over a walk per inning which will really come back to haunt him today. Pinero goes for STL today and he has been pretty good as of late. Would expect him to go about 6 innings and give up three runs. Both bullpens will be called on for extensive innings and would imagine that both will give up 2 runs each. As it gets warmer in Cincy the balls fly out at breakneck speed would imagine that STL goes yard at least three times. Expect a really high score easily over 12 runs!! SCORE STL 7 - CIN 5
