T.M. Selection: St Louis Cardinals.
I like the St Louis Cardinals to win this game against the Cincinnati Reds on Friday. The Cardinals just saw the Reds earlier this week and won both games against them, sweeping the mini series right before the All Star break. I think they are going to add another win onto their run here and the Reds haven't really looked that great lately anyway. The Reds were getting hot just last week but they died down right before the break, losing 3/4 of their previous 4 games, and as a team that has been terrible all year I expect them lose coming out of the break here. The Cardinals are the better team and they will get a strong start to the 2nd half of the season here since they have a chance to take the division lead away from the Brewers. Adam Wainwright (6-7, 3.00 ERA) is up for the Cardinals here and he has been a very reliable pitcher for them all year, but has also been pitching this well throughout his career so I expect him to just get better and better the deeper we get into the year. June wasn't his best month but he has been great for a majority of the year and has already had a few bounce back starts in July, pitching very well before the All Star break. The Reds don't have a great offense and they never put up more than 3 runs in a game in those 2 right before the break, I don't expect them to much on offense again here. The Cardinals were putting up a ton of runs on the Reds in those 2 games though and I expect them to do the same here. Graham Ashcraft (4-2, 4.45 ERA) is up for the Reds and he hasn't been great this year. It is only his rookie year but he hasn't made much of a positive impact on the team since he has given up a ton of runs in his starts, posting a terrible June. Even in July, he's had 2 starts now and wasn't terrible in either but he has also been giving up a ton of hits in 6 starts in a row now and I expect him to get burned by the Cardinals here since they will cash in the runs like they did in the previous series. I like the Cardinals to win this game.
T.M. Prediction: 6-1 Cardinals.
