The St. Louis Cardinals and Cincinnati Reds meet Saturday in MLB action at Great American Ball Park. Here’s a St. Louis Cardinals vs Cincinnati Reds Prediction. This article will include a St. Louis Cardinals vs Cincinnati Reds Pick.
The St. Louis Cardinals are 67-69 on the year and play the Athletics, Giants, and Mariners next. The St. Louis Cardinals are batting .247 on the season, have a .316 OBP, and a .384 slugging percentage. The St. Louis Cardinals pitching staff has a 4.28 ERA and a 1.31 WHIP. Alec Burleson leads the St. Louis Cardinals with 123 hits and 60 RBI, while Masyn Winn and Brendan Donovan have combined for 238 hits and 95 RBI.
Michael McGreevy gets the ball for the St. Louis Cardinals, and he is 5-2 with a 4.43 ERA and 40 strikeouts this season. This will be McGreevy’s first career game against the Cincinnati Reds.
The Cincinnati Reds are 68-67 on the year and play the Blue Jays, Mets, and Padres next. The Cincinnati Reds are batting .246 on the season, have a .317 OBP, and a .390 slugging percentage. The Cincinnati Reds pitching staff has a 3.84 ERA and a 1.24 WHIP. Elly De La Cruz leads the Cincinnati Reds with 144 hits and 77 RBI, while TJ Friedl and Spencer Steer have combined for 231 hits and 104 RBI.
Andrew Abbott gets the ball for the Cincinnati Reds, and he is 8-4 with a 2.62 ERA and 118 strikeouts this season. Abbott is 4-2 with a 3.76 ERA and 24 strikeouts in his career against the St. Louis Cardinals.
McGreevy is having a decent August, and he’s been at his best on the road, where he has a 3.00 ERA and .244 allowed batting average. Abbott has been strong this season overall, but he’s allowed 25 hits and 13 earned runs in his last 25.1 innings. It also doesn’t matter what Abbott does when you factor in the Reds have won just one game in the last 10 days. The Reds pitching staff has been getting rocked and the offense hasn’t been consistent. While the Reds are probably the better team, I’m rolling with the Cards given the form of the Reds.
