We’re taking Elly De La Cruz to increase his hit streak to 12 on Monday. He’s been seeing the ball well and, across the streak, has also knocked three home runs to get his season total to five.
He should have no problem getting one on Monday, as Palante has struggled to start his season.

We’re also taking the Reds to win on Monday. They’ve won four straight and are back home, while the Cardinals have gone 3-7 over their last 10 games.
Back the team on the upward trajectory and stay away from the one that’s inconsistent.
