This is a 10* play on CINCINNATI

We went with the Reds yesterday citing the fact that Cardinals starter Miles Mikolas just isn't the same pitcher on the road as he is at home. The Reds won 3-2 Saturday and it's a similar situation today with them facing Jack Flaherty. Just like Mikolas, Flaherty's numbers go up dramatically when he isn't starting at Busch Stadium. He has a 5.96 ERA and 1.54 WHIP in nine road starts this season, six of those ending up as Cardinals losses. St. Louis has lost the last five times Flaherty has started and he's personally winless over his last 10 starts. Anthony DeSclafani has pitched well for the Reds recently, despite having no wins to show for it - at least this month. But he has a 3.32 ERA his last seven starts and six of those he hasn't allowed more than three runs. The Reds easily could have taken the first three games of this series (blew a 7-run lead Friday), but will have to settle for a split instead. Play on CINCINNATI
