Cincinnati Reds vs St. Louis Cardinals Prediction

The Reds have been so inconsistent this season, but they are going to find success here. Miles Mikolas is on the mound for the Cardinals, and I don’t trust him. In his last start, he gave up four runs in six innings, and he’s going to really struggle again here. The Reds are going to get another strong start from Abbott, and he’s going to be the difference maker here. Back the Reds on the money line to cash.
