Reds vs Cardinals MLB Betting Preview
Action PRO projects Cincinnati Reds hitter Edwin Arroyo for 0.82 hits in today’s matchup against the St. Louis Cardinals, giving us a solid 9.4% edge against the market when compared to his current prop line of over/under 0.5 hits (priced at +115 on FanDuel), which is good enough to tag the Over with a B grade in our system.
Arroyo has been a steady contact presence for the Reds since his June call-up, batting .254 with 29 hits in 114 at-bats. He’s shown a line-drive approach and the ability to put the ball in play consistently, collecting hits in a solid share of his recent starts.
Tonight, Arroyo faces Cardinals right-hander Dustin May, who has allowed 97 hits over 98 innings this season with a 1.32 WHIP and 4.78 ERA. May’s tendency to give up contact, combined with Arroyo’s bat-to-ball skills, creates a favorable spot for the young Reds infielder to pick up at least one hit.
Our PRO model sees elevated hit probability for Arroyo against May, with the +115 price offering clear value on the Over.
Pick: Edwin Arroyo Over 0.5 Hits (+115, FanDuel)
