Cincinnati Reds vs. St. Louis Cardinals

Saturday, June 29, 2024 – 02:15 PM ET at Busch Stadium


Reds Pitching Profile

Carson Spiers (1-1, 3.45 ERA, 1.24 WHIP) was tagged for three runs on seven hits over six full innings in an 11-5 win over the Pirates in his last outing. It was a remarkably similar performance to the one he had the week before when he allowed seven hits on four runs over six innings in a 4-1 loss to those same Pittsburgh Pirates.

Cardinals Pitching Profile

Sonny Gray (9-4, 2.81 ERA, 0.95 WHIP) is in the midst of an outstanding season and the Cardinals have come up winners in his last three starts and 7 of his last 10 performances. He spun another gem last Sunday when he surrendered just one run on one hit, a homer by catcher Patrick Bailey, over seven full innings in a 5-3 victory over the Giants.

The Pick

The Cardinals will have a noticeable advantage on the mound this afternoon and that’s a huge plus, particularly when the teams are relatively close in roster talent. The Redbirds also play better at home and should win this one relatively easily, assuming Sonny Gray is firing on all cylinders and gives his team seven solid innings.

Predicted Score: Cardinals 4 – Reds 2
