The Cardinals are putting the better pitcher in the mound in this game, but also are putting a better overall lineup on the field as well. With the Reds putting the pitcher on the mound that is a rookie and starting to have a hitting that is decent it will be easy to see the total going on the over, but still the struggling Reds are not going to get a win in this game here.
