Reds vs Cardinals

Cincinnati enters Sunday’s game on a three-game losing streak but appears poised to keep rolling behind a surging starter who’s consistently dominated in recent appearances at Busch Stadium. St. Louis, meanwhile, has won five straight and remains without key lineup pieces, contributing to a team-wide slump at the plate—they’re hitting just .212 over the past week. While both sides are managing injuries, Cincinnati’s offensive depth has proved more resilient, and they’ve gotten timely production across the order to keep pace in the divisional race.

The Reds sit 4.5 games back of the division lead, and with the season’s midpoint rapidly approaching, every edge matters. Cincinnati has shown more urgency and execution lately, while St. Louis continues to struggle finding consistency. With a pitching advantage, deeper lineup, and playoff positioning on the line, backing the Reds on the moneyline makes sense.

Sunday’s matchup between Cincinnati and St. Louis brings together two capable starters and a pair of lineups that have averaged just eight combined runs over their last four contests. Even as the Cardinals ride a five-game win streak and the Reds look to stop a brief slide, run production has been limited by ongoing absences and underperforming bats. Both clubs enter the day without key middle-order contributors, further dampening offensive expectations. Add in strong splits from each starting pitcher against opposing hitters, and the under begins to take firm shape.

With the season’s halfway mark approaching, every game carries weight in the wild-card race, often prompting managers to manage aggressively with their bullpens. Both teams boast late-inning arms that have been nearly untouchable in recent weeks, making a late scoring surge less likely. With cool bats, elite pitching form, and playoff pressure tightening, the under on 9.5 runs looks like the right side.

Cincinnati rolls into Sunday on a three game skid but looks primed to keep end that skid against a St. Louis squad that’s won five straight and continues to deal with critical lineup absences. The Reds hold a pitching edge with a fresh starter facing a depleted order, while the Cardinals’ bullpen issues—four blown leads in their last five opportunities—only widen the gap. Cincinnati’s offence has found its rhythm, and with added urgency to stay in the thick of the Wild Card hunt, this looks like an ideal spot to back them on the run line.

St. Louis hasn’t shown much late-game resilience recently, and missing core bats makes it hard to envision a full bounce-back effort. Meanwhile, the Reds are trending upward in both production and late-inning execution. Getting plus-money to win by two or more runs against a team in this kind of slump adds value that’s tough to ignore.
