Reds vs Cardinals MLB Betting Preview
The Cardinals host the Reds to finish off a three-game set at Busch Stadium. Michael McGreevy will toe the mound for the home team, while Rhett Lowder will start for the visitors in his first action since returning from the 15-day IL.
McGreevy has been the far better pitcher, running a 2.98 ERA and 1.10 WHIP across 12 starts. He’s slipped recently, but he tossed six innings of two-run ball against the Rangers in his most recent start.
Meanwhile, Lowder has been bad all season, before and after his injury — he was shelved in early May with right shoulder inflammation. I didn’t have faith in his 5.40 ERA before the shoulder ailment, and I don’t have faith now.
Reds vs Cardinals Pick, Betting Analysis
I’ll be backing the Cardinals on both the F5 ML and the player prop market.
Specifically, I think this is a great matchup for Jordan Walker, who hits sinkers, four-seamers, and sliders very well — Lowder’s main three-pitch mix.
Picks:
- Cardinals F5 ML
- Jordan Walker Over 1.5 Total Bases
