St. Louis has played much better over the last couple of weeks than they did to start the season, but these teams are very close in the NL Central race. St. Louis is starting Steven Matz, who has allowed four earned runs over his last 15.1 innings pitched. Cincinnati is starting Ben Lively, who has allowed three earned runs over his last 11.0 innings of work. The Reds have struggled in recent games, but I like them to get the win here.
