National League Central battle: St. Louis versus Cincinnati
The latest battle in the long-running war between the division rival Reds and Cardinals goes today with Dave Williams slated to go against Sidney Ponson.
Cincinnati has been one of the league's hottest teams, adding 7 games to the win column in their past 10 starts. They have been averaging 6.1 runs per game during this stretch and racking up 9.4 hits per game. Overall, they are 7-3 facing a St. Louis team with a 5-5 record.
The Cardinals (5-5) opened as 165 favorites and they host a Reds team that has won 7 of their 10 games this season. The total opened at 9.5.
Tony La Russa's team was busy last game losing to Cincinnati 1-0 as favorites. The 1 run sent that game under the total of 9.
Don't expect St. Louis to beat themselves at the plate by striking out a lot. The selective Cardinals batters are in the top three in the league, fanning just 5.5 times per game.
