Cincinnati Reds vs St. Louis Cardinals. MLB’s pick for the game will go to the St. Louis Cardinals +105. Looking at the starters, Mahle is having a better season than Ponce de Leon. It is not enough to side with the Reds though, with how they are slumping and being inconsistent with their offense. The Cardinals don’t have the best offense but they will bat against Mahle who they know very well, and have dominated in the past season. The Reds are 2-6 in their last 8 games on the Road against the Cardinals. St. Louis has the edge here and will win the series to a score of 7-3.
