T.M. Selection: Cardinals (10*).

After back-to-back losses to the Nationals, St. Louis comes in looking for the sweep here at home over Cincinnati. At this price, I love the Cards to do just that. At some point the Reds will get back into the winners circle, but after six straight losses, I think they'll struggle again here. Luis Castillo and Joe Flaherty are a "wash," but note that St. Louis is 7-1 in its last eight as a home favorite in the -115 to -125 range. Great value on the surging home side!

T.M. Prediction: 6-3 Cards.
