The Cardinals will try and avoid a sweep by the Reds after dropping the first two games. Kyle Gibson with his 7-4 record and 3.99 ERA will go for the Cardinals. The Reds will counter with Emeilio Pagan. He is 2-3, with a 4.22 ERA. The Cardinals are just 10-14 since the break. Gibson is 0-1 in his last five starts but he’s giving up two runs or less in three of his last four starts. The Reds are 12-11 since the break. These teams have split the first eight games between them this season. The Reds are 30-31 at home this season, The Cardinals are 29-33 on the road this year. Gibson is 5-1 with a 3.34 ERA on the road this season. Surprisingly with all their talent the Reds have the worst hitting offense at home in the NL. I am going with the better pitcher in this one.

Play on St.Louis. This is a 4% play
