Today’s matchup is between the St Louis Cardinals and the Cincinnati Reds. The Cardinals are starting Dakota Hudson (RHP) on the mound who is 0-2 on the season pitching a 3.32 ERA, 4.77 FIP, .267 wOBA, 89.3 MPH average exit velocity & a 1.05 WHIP in 19 innings pitched.
The Reds are starting Anthony Desclafani (RHP), who is 0-4 with a 5.71 ERA, 5.50 FIP, .323 wOBA, 89.1 MPH average exit velocity & a 1.38 WHIP in 17.1 innings pitched.
On the hitting side the Cardinals have a .306 wOBA & the Reds have a .319 wOBA. The Cardinals have 19 HRs this season while the Reds have 52 HRs.
The Cardinals have the better pitcher to start the game but they’ve had hitting struggles. The Reds pitcher is well below average but they have much better hitting than the Cardinals. I like this game to produce a good amount of runs so I’m taking the over.
