Reds vs. Cardinals Odds & Betting Predictions - September 12, 2024

Follow On X: https://x.com/PicksOffice Jakob Junis is in incredibly good form, having given up just one earned run total in his last three starts across 13.0 innings of work en route to a shiny 0.69 ERA in that time frame. He has been especially sharp against the Brewers and the Mets, who have more formidable offenses than the scuffling Cardinals. St. Louis is hitting just .208 against right-handers in their last five games, which fits rather poorly with how Jun is has been performing. A lack of consistency offensively from the Cardinals makes it tough to expect a quick turnaround early. On the other side, Sonny Gray has a respectable 3.84 season ERA but struggled in his recent outing against this exact lineup, allowing six earned runs in his last appearance against them. The Reds offense finally seems to have awoken, taking seven of ten and hitting .258 against righties over their last ten games. This offense has shown it can give Gray fits, and it's clear from how they've fared against the Cardinals of late, scoring enough to be competitive in those games while holding St. Louis to fewer than two runs per game over five straight meetings. With the Reds playing great, hitting right-handers really well, and the Cardinals struggling against righties, taking Cincinnati to keep it tight for the first five innings is a solid play.
