MLB - 909 St Louis Cardinals @ 910 Cincinnati Reds
(Starting Pitchers: J. Westbrook vs T. Cingrani)
St Louis will start Jake Westbrook tonight, who allowed four runs in five innings against Pittsburgh last Monday. Even though he has a 2.95 season ERA, the truth is that Westbrook isn't being that impressive at all, as his advanced numbers are quite poor with 4.01 FIP, 4.58 xFIP and 4.81 SIERA! He'll be regressing a lot soon, especially when he keeps having more walks than strikeouts with a K/BB ratio of 0.97! He had a complete game shutout against Cincinnati on his second start of the season, so I believe the Reds will want to get revenge out of that tonight, especially after their humiliating blowout loss yesterday.
On the other hand, Tony Cingrani is coming from one of the best starts that someone had this season by completing dominating the Dodgers on the road, with a 0.00 ERA, 0.33 FIP and 1.33 xFIP! He is obviously in great form right now and he is yet to face the Cardinals, so he will also have the surprise effect helping him tonight. I believe Cincinnati will have a clear SP edge in tonight's matchup, while they will be also looking to bounce back after their blowout loss last night, so I believe the Reds will have a comfortable win tonight. Therefore, I'll be taking the Reds in here.
Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 910 Cincinnati Reds RL -1 (w/ T. Cingrani) @ -116 / 1.86 on 5Dimes
