Cardinals -128 4* MLB POD
I like the Cardinals today with Chris Carpenter looking solid in his first two starts back from the DL. The Reds also are not nearly as powerful vs. RHP as they are against LHP. They are 18th in OPS on the road and 23rd in OPS vs. RHP. Meanwhile the Cardinals are pretty balanced and it just so happens they have dominated against Mat Latos who pitches tonight and has been red hot. Latos has an ERA under 3 and an 8-2 record over his last 10 starts, but hold on a minute he has not faced really anyone besides the Brewers and in his start against the Cardinals he allowed 7 ER. The other starts he faced teams ranked 25th, 20th, 27th, 25th, 24th, 26th, 11th, and 13th in OPS vs. RHP. The Cardinals line up tonight remains formidable with an active average of .393 against Latos and Beltran is 4-8 with 3 HR off Latos and has been red hot lately. The Cardinals have even out performed the Reds in the last 10 days in bullpen as the REds bullpen has a 4.76 ERA while the Cards have a bullpen ERA under 2. Reds have also struggled to his lately and are -1.04 runs per 9 on the road compared to what the Cardinals do at home. Cardinals are also 49-22 in their last 71 home games vs. the Reds.
