Cincinnati at St. Louis

Here we are into June and no team has established itself in the NL Central as better than any other. The five teams are all within striking distance, although Cincinnati is currently at the bottom. Luis Castillo has been the Reds' best opportunity on the mound this season, but they are just a pedestrian 6-6 in his 12 starts. The issue for the Reds is generating any offense and they come into this game having scored one and two runs in their last two - both losses. St. Louis is playing well right now, winning four straight games while allowing opponents a total of nine runs in the wins. Play on St. Louis.
