Result: Win
This is an 8* ASSASSIN on the St. Louis Cardinals.
After yesterday's defeat, the Cardinals fired their head coach. St. Louis is waffling right around .500 and it's desperate for a victory today. In what is a clear pitching mismatch, we like the hungry home side to indeed find a way to get the job done at the end of the afternoon. The visitors hand the ball to Anthony DeScalfani (4-1, 4.43 ERA) who gave up one run over seven innings in a victory over Cleveland on Monday. Previous to that though he'd been shelled for nine earned runs spanning just 11.2 innings of work. The home side goes with Miles Mikolas (10-3, 2.65) who gave up two runs off seven hits and four walks with three strikeouts over six innings in a win over the D-Backs on Wednesday. Note that it was the first time all season that he's walked more than two opponents. Note as well that Mikolas owns a tiny 1.65 ERA at home and that he's 5-0 with a 2.86 ERA in all "day" contests. Despite its recent struggles, note that the Cards are still 25-17 (+5.9 units) against the division, while the Reds are just 16-27 (-7.7 units) against the division. All things considered, we feel a fair price. Lay it, play on the CARDINALS.
