The St. Louis Cardinals will take on the Cincinnati Reds in Game 2 of the double header in MLB action tonight. Let's have a look at the best odds, lines, and picks for the game.
With their victory last night (September 16), the Cardinals have levelled the series at 1-1 to improve to 85-60 on the season. They lead the National League Central division by 7.5 games over second-placed Milwaukee Brewers. The Cardinals look good to reach the postseason.
The Reds, meanwhile, have had a terrible season and are out of playoff contention, losing seven of their last eight games. They will only play for pride against the Cardinals.
"Final from Busch Stadium" - Reds
The Cardinals will likely start with Jose Quintana on the mound. He has an ERA of 3.34, a 1.30 WHIP, 118 K's and a W-L of 5-6. He is 4-4 at home and has won five games out of a possible eight since arriving from the Pittsburgh Pirates in August. He has registered two wins against the Reds this season.
The Reds, meanwhile, could start Hunter Greene on the mound. He's coming off a 15-day injury layoff and is a good prospect. He has a W-L of 4-12, a 1.30 WHIP, and 127 Ks.
He throws absolute gas from the hill and commands his four-seam fastball pretty well. This will be his fourth start against the Cardinals, havinng lost two of the previous three, but he did strike out 16 hitters.
