The St. Louis Cardinals were swept over the weekend by the Chicago Cubs but I like their chances for a victory today when they open a 4-game set at Great American Ball Park against the Cincinnati Reds. The Cards will send Carlos Martínez to the rubber today. Martínez has been solid, with a record of 4-4, a 3.08 ERA and a 1.11 WHIP. The Reds will counter with Asher Wojciechowski and he is 1-0, with a 5.62 ERA, a 1.00 WHIP, and in his last outing against Toronto, he gave up 4 runs on 4 hits with 3 homers, in 4 innings of work. Cincinnati is 1-5 in their last 6 overall and St. Louis is 5-1 in Martínez last 6 starts against the Reds.
Today’s pick:
