Result: Win
Point Spread: 1.50 | -112.00 Cincinnati (Home)
Result: Win
The Cardinals are 2-7 in left-hander Steven Matz nine starts for the season.
Matz (0-5, 5.05 ERA) is coming off 4 2/3 scoreless innings against the Dodgers, but it's worth noting that Cincinnati hits left-handers better than right-handers and they are 8-0 in their last 8 home games vs. a left-handed starter.
Cincy right-hander Ben Lively (1-2, 2.45 ERA) has allowed only three runs on seven hits and one walk over 11 innings for a WHIP of 0.73.
The Cardinals bats have been hot of late, but I think the value is on the Reds to cover the runline.
8* PLAY ON CINCINNATI REDS +1½.
