Nick Galaida’s Cardinals vs Reds Prediction and Pick

Reds starting pitcher Brady Singer is a fly-ball oriented pitcher (32% ground-ball rate) who has been surrendering a lot of hard contact early in the season.

The Cardinals’ offense should be able to get to him for some runs.

Cardinals starting pitcher Miles Mikolas isn’t a great option to trust in most spots, but he still gets enough ground balls (40%) to give him a chance to be lucky once in a while.

If he can keep the ball on the ground more often than Singer, the Cardinals should have a good shot in the latter frames to cash as road ‘dogs — Cincinnati’s bullpen looks quite shaky, ranking 28th among MLB teams in reliever FIP (4.78).

Pick: Cardinals ML (+125, BetMGM)
