Rating: 8/10*

The Cincinnati Reds aim for their second consecutive win over the visiting St. Louis Cardinals Saturday night. The Reds came through with a 3-2 win in the series opener Friday, and they're now 4-0 in the last four meetings at Great American Ballpark.

Tonight the Reds hand the ball to Luis Castillo (2-4, 3.56 ERA). He held the Marlins to one run on three hits through eight innings of a 6-4 win his last time out. Castillo has racked up an impressive 51 Ks through 48 innings of work on the season.

The Cards turn to the red hot Lance Lynn (9-6, 3.20 ERA) who is 3-0 with a 1.15 ERA through his last five starts. He has dominated the Reds in two starts on the season, but note that the Cards are 1-4 in Lynn's last five starts at Cincinnati

The Cardinals are 6-13 in their last 19 road games vs. a team with a losing record while the Reds are 11-5 in their last 16 home games vs. a team with a losing record. There's a reason why the Reds are favored here, and the Cards might very well prove to be the biggest trap game of the day with the public heavy on the visitors.

My selection on the other hand is an 8* play on Cincinnati Reds ML.
