CIN: Harang (1-1, 8.49 ERA)
STL: Carpenter (1-0, 3.27 ERA)
St. Louis hopes to exploit home field advantage and ride the arm of Chris Carpenter to earn a division win Friday against the Reds.
The Reds start Aaron Harang, 1-1, 8.48 ERA. His last trip was a win, an 11-9 team win against the Pirates, when he threw 6 2/3 innings, allowing 5 runs on 8 hits.
Sporting a 6-3 overall record and a 6-3 mark within the division, the Reds aim to knock the Cardinals (2-4 in the division) for a loss.
The Cardinals are favored, opening as 200 chalk, with an opening total of 9. They are 5-4 this season and 4-5-0 OU. The Reds are 6-3 and are 6-3-0 OU.
Jerry Narron's troops went to Chicago last game and came away with an 8-3 win, a game that went over 10. Oddsmakers had them as underdogs in that one.
Tony La Russa's troops were at home against the Brewers last game and came away with a 4-3 loss, a game that went under 9. Oddsmakers had them as favorites.
The Reds need to cut down on the strikeouts and get some runners on base. They rank #14 in the league, whiffing 7.6 times per game. The hitters need to make some contact.
Some trends to consider:
Cincinnati is 4-2-0 SU in its last 6 games after scoring 7 to 9 runs
Cincinnati is 4-2-0 OU in its last 6 away
Cincinnati is 5-2-0 OU in its last 7 games against St. Louis
Cincinnati is 9-3-0 OU in its last 12 games
St. Louis is 5-1-0 OU in its last 6 games at home against Cincinnati
St. Louis is 5-2-0 OU in its last 7 games against Cincinnati
St. Louis is 8-4-0 OU in its last 12 at home
St. Louis is 2-7-0 SU in its last 9 games after scoring 1 to 3 runs
