Sean Paul's Cardinals vs Reds Best Bet: Back Singer and the Cardinals
By Sean Paul
I'm all over the pitching matchup here. Brady Singer has dominated all month, and Andre Pallante has been one of the worst pitchers in baseball since the All-Star break.
I can't justify taking St. Louis here, even at +115. The number feels a bit short, as I think the Reds are the better team and Singer is by far the better pitcher.
Go with the Reds to -150.
