๐Ÿ“Matchup Preview

The Cincinnati Reds and St. Louis Cardinals renew their NL Central rivalry tonight, with the St. Louis Cardinals sending Dustin May to the mound behind a 4.78 ERA. The Cincinnati Reds counter with Rhett Lowder, who has struggled this season.

Dustin May's 8.7 K/9 gives the St. Louis Cardinals a meaningful advantage on the mound, as his strikeout stuff can limit the Cincinnati Reds' lineup.

The St. Louis Cardinals have also gotten steadier bullpen work and taken 6 of the last 10 meetings between these two teams.

The market gives a medium edge to the St. Louis Cardinals, pricing them at -168.

SportsFBI's outlook favors the St. Louis Cardinals tonight, driven primarily by Dustin May's pitching advantage and the injury report. The St. Louis Cardinals enter as the stronger overall matchup.
