Today’s matchup is between the St Louis Cardinals and the Cincinnati Reds. The cardinals are starting Johan Oviedo (RHP) on the mound who is 0-1 on the season pitching a 3.60 ERA, 3.33 FIP, .222 wOBA, 94.4 MPH average exit velocity & a 1 WHIP in 10 innings pitched.
The reds are starting Tyler Mahle (RHP), who is 1-1 with a 3.91 ERA, 4.18 FIP, .286 wOBA, 89.6 MPH average exit velocity & a 1.13 WHIP in 23 innings pitched.
On the hitting side the cardinals have a .315 wOBA & a .338 OBP. The reds have a .313 wOBA & a .315 OBP. The cardinals have 21 HRs this season while the reds have 54 HRs.
Although Oviedo has looked sharp in his only start I trust the pitching from Tyler Mahle more & the batting of the Reds to get a win in this game. With Oviedo giving up a 94.4 MPH Average exit velocity I expect the Reds to get 1-2+ homers while he's on the mound.
