The Cincinnati Reds have already lost a series to St. Louis this season, and dropped the opener of this series. The four games have been close with just one decided by more than a single run. The Reds locked up Homer Bailey to a long term contract, and he has displayed no-hit stuff in his career, and is more than capable of stringing together a lot of 0s on the scoreboard. Lance Lynn was not effective in the opener, and tailed off late last season. Lynn's career ERA vs. the Reds is a shaky 4.19 in 10 starts against them. Cincinnati has shown a penchant for bouncing back when following a dismal pitching performance as they shine to a 55-20 mark after allowing 5+ runs in their previous game. The dog has his day in this one, so go with Cincinnati.
