How to Bet Cardinals-Reds
Moneyline: Cardinals -126 | Reds +108
Spread: Cardinals -1.5 (+130) | Reds +1.5 (-156)
Total: 8.5 Over (-115) | Under (-105)
In addition to traditional bets like the moneyline, point spread, and game total, there are several bets offered at FanDuel Sportsbook.
Hunter Greene should present a challenge for the Cardinals as one of baseball’s highest prospects, but St Louis is a relative veteran team, which should be able to find a way to make it difficult on the youngster. The Cardinals are still offering some value on the moneyline, and you should likely look that way in this spot tonight.
Nolan Arenado has been red hot to start the season for the Cardinals and is +390 tonight to hit a home run and that’s definitely something to consider here.
Will Rookie Hunter Greene Find Success Against Cardinals?
Cincinnati doesn’t exactly have a ton of positivity surrounding their baseball team, but rookie pitcher Hunter Greene is certainly someone worth keeping an eye on for Reds fans. Greene has made two starts this season and posted an ERA of 4.35, but will face a difficult Cardinals offense here tonight.
Reds Projected Lineup:
SS Kyle Farmer
DH Brandon Drury
LF Tommy Pham
1B Joey Votto
CF Nick Senzel
RF Aristides Aquino
3B Colin Moran
2B Alejo Lopez
C Aramis Garcia
Starting Pitcher: Hunter Greene
Cardinals Look to Get Back on Track Against Reds
The Cardinals took two of three from the Miami Marlins in their weekday series but lost in the finale, which means they’ll be looking to get back in the win column in this spot, against a Reds team that has extremally low expectations this season after selling off a lot of their roster this offseason.
Cardinals Projected Lineup:
RF Dylan Carlson
1B Paul Goldschmidt
LF Tyler O’Neill
3B Nolan Arenado
DH Corey Dickerson
SS Paul DeJong
CF Harrison Bader
C Yadier Molina
2B Tommy Edman
Starting Pitcher: Steven Matz
