St. Louis Cardinals @ Cincinnati Reds
I’m backing the Reds moneyline because Brady Singer’s 1.27 WHIP keeps traffic scarce, and that plays in a day game where early rhythm matters. St. Louis leans swing-happy at the top—Jordan Walker has 98 strikeouts—which lets Singer work ahead and finish at-bats. On the other side, Andre Pallante’s 5.44 ERA invites crooked numbers, and the Reds can cash those with Elly De La Cruz’s 19 homers supplying the thump. Sure, Cincinnati’s bats can chase and Elly has 153 strikeouts, but Pallante’s 95 punchouts show he doesn’t miss enough bats to make that the story today—I'm laying the chalk; got the guts to ride with me?
