Cardinals vs Reds Free Pick April 4, 2021
(MLB) St. Louis vs. Cincinnati,
Money Line: -107.00 St. Louis (Away)
Result: Loss
The St. Louis Cardinals and the Cincinnati Reds have split the first two games of this set.

I like the Cards to clinch the series finale on Sunday with Carlos Martinez on the mound. Martinez had most of last season ruined due to Covid-19 and injury, but now he's back to full fitness and Martinez is 8-5 with a 4.07 ERA in 30 career games (13 starts) against Cincinnati, and the current Reds roster has a combined batting average of .219 through 101 at-bats against him. Joey Votto has a .182 career average against Martinez.

The Reds hand the ball to Jeff Hoffman for his team debut. Hoffman posted a 9.28 ERA in 16 relief appearances with Colorado last season. Hoffman was not expected to be a starter for the Reds, but is stepping in for Sonny Gray who is sidelined due to back spasms.

Cardinals are 11-5 in the last 16 meetings. Cardinals are 21-9 in the last 30 meetings in Cincinnati.

Free pick on St. Louis Cardinals.
